Pandemonium continued in Lok Sabha today when SP member Akshay Yadav tore some papers in the Well and throws them across towards Speaker Sumitra Mahajan. She warned him terming it a “disorderly Act”.
While the Question Hour was in progress amid din created by Opposition members who had trooped into the Well, Yadav tore some papers and threw them towards the Speaker’s podium.
This conduct of Yadav is a “gross violation of the norms of standards and etiquettes laid down under Rules and Conventions of the House”, she said, adding “this conduct is not proper on the part of the member and also for the dignity and prestige of the House”.
“I therefore, while, expressing my grave displeasure over the conduct of Yadav warn him to refrain from such from disorderly act in future,” she added.
Under Rule 349 (xxi) of Rules of Procedures and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha when it is in session, a member shall not tear off documents in the House in protest.
When the House reassembled at noon after first adjournment, Lok Sabha Speaker disallowed the adjournment motions moved by opposition members including from Congress and TMC in which they had demanded a discussion on the issue under relevant rule which entails voting. Not satisfied with this, the opposition members trooped into the well and shouted slogans. Amidst the din, Speaker adjourned the House for the day.
