Routine procedure: Lok Sabha Speaker clarifies guidelines for protests inside Parliament #IndiaNEWS #India
New Delhi: After the Oppositions criticism over the guidelines to the MPs to refrain from the activities like dharna-demonstration, strikes, and fasting inside the Parliament premises, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla clarified that it is a routine procedure. Such guidelines and appeals are issued before every session. Therefore, it should be seen as a normal and routine procedure, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said in a press conference.
This clarification of the Lok Sabha Secretariat has come after several opposition leaders, including Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, raised questions regarding the guidelines. Birla also said that such guidelines have been issued even during the middle session. This is a routine process (issuing of guidelines) that has been going on since 2009. There should be no politics in this. I urge all political parties not to accuse democratic institutions without facts, he said. It is noteworthy that before the Monsoon session, MPs have been instructed not to hold dharnas, demonstrations, strikes, fasts or any religious events inside the Parliament premises.
Along with this, the distribution of any kind of literature, questionnaire, pamphlet, press note, leaflet or any kind of printed matter and bringing any kind of placard into the premises without prior permission of the Speaker of Lok Sabha has also been prohibited.
Following the oppositions criticism of the 50-page compilation of words deemed unfit for use in Parliament released by the Lok Sabha secretariat, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday said that no words have been banned. Earlier on Thursday, amid the row over the questioning of the Lok Sabha secretariat by the Opposition over words listed as unparliamentary, top sources in the Lower House said that such removal of words has been taking place since 1954 under various political dispensations.

Earlier, several senior members of Parliament had criticized the report of the Lok Sabha Secretariat which had released a list of words that have been designated as unparliamentary. Any word spoken which is against the ethos of Parliament or disrespectful in nature and can compromise the dignity of the house. The discretion lies with the chair to expunge them, sources had said. Such compilation has been made since 1954 under various political dispensations. From time to time this has been brought out under various political dispensations, sources had added.
