Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on unparliamentary words ban also said that now the central government is declaring that some words cannot be used inside Parliament, tomorrow they will ask to wear saffron clothes to enter the premises. According to Adhir Ranjan, there is a rules committee in Parliament. The government is creating a second republic by taking the decision to ban non-parliamentary words from the committee.
Congress leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said, “The decision to ban unparliamentary words depends on the book of Parliament which decides on unparliamentary words. He said that they will use those words which PM Modi used in his parliamentary career. Kharge asked when the Prime Minister himself has used these words, why does he feel it is wrong now?
Trinamool Congress’s Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien has said on the decision of the unparliamentary words ban has been issued to silence the MPs. He said that he will use words like ashamed, corrupt, and betrayed, if the rule is to suspend then he challenges the speaker to suspend.
The monsoon session of Parliament is starting on July 18. Earlier, in the booklet released by the Lok Sabha Secretariat on Wednesday (July 13), words like Jumlajeevi, child wisdom, COVID spreader, Snoopgate, ashamed, abused, betrayed, corrupt, drama, hypocrisy, incompetent has been termed as unparliamentary. If these rules become part of the parliamentary manual, then these words will not be used.
If any word is used in the list of words included in the booklet of Lok Sabha, then it will be treated as unparliamentary language and removed from the proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. That is, even if these words have been seen and heard on live TV, these words will not find a place in the records of Parliament. This means that it will not be considered officially that such an MP has used unparliamentary words inside the Parliament.
