People watch disruptions, will decide during polls: Sumitra Mahajan
New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Friday cautioned members of Parliament (MPs) that people are watching the frequent disruptions which are caused in Parliament, and that they will take an “appropriate decision” during elections.
She made these comments with the Monsoon Session of Parliament expected to start in less than a month’s time.
A “hurt and pained” Ms Mahajan said Parliament is a place to “discuss, debate and decide” and all MPs should follow rules.
“But what is happening is disruptions,” she said this during a workshop organised by the Vision Indian Foundation here.
Replying to questions about MPs coming into the well of the house, the Speaker said all MPs follow their party’s agenda and the decisions taken by their party leaders.
“All MPs have been given rule book, they should follow rules. It hurts and pains me when the house gets adjourned due to disruptions,” she said.
