News India Live, Digital Desk: This time the budget session of Parliament is being remembered for confrontation instead of discussions. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has expressed deep displeasure over the conduct of opposition MPs, claiming that during the proceedings of the House, some MPs had come very close to the Prime Minister’s chair, which could have created a security crisis.

Key points of Om Birla’s claim:

Indecent conduct: The Speaker said that the House has its own dignity. The MPs coming into the well and coming close to the seat is not only a violation of the rules, but it is also a matter of serious concern for the security of the Prime Minister.

Fear of attack: According to the Speaker, the way opposition MPs (especially from Congress and other constituent parties) moved towards the Prime Minister’s seat shouting slogans, it seemed that the situation could go out of control and an untoward incident like a “physical attack” could occur.

Suspension warning: He made it clear that if this behavior of the MPs continued, they would be left with no option but to suspend them for the remaining term of the House.

The Counter-Attack

Opposition parties have described the Speaker’s allegations as “ridiculous” and a “dark chapter in parliamentary history”.

Congress’s side: Congress MPs say that they were only seeking answers from the Prime Minister on issues of public interest (like unemployment and inflation). Using the word “attack” is a conspiracy to defame the opposition.

Accusation of dictatorship: The MPs alleged that whenever the opposition asks questions, the government suppresses their voice under the pretext of security and decorum.

Reason for deadlock in the House

This tension in the house is mainly Corruption allegations in Bihar elections, neet exam controversy And adani case But it has arisen due to the opposition demanding direct intervention and statement of the Prime Minister.

What does parliamentary security protocol say?

The responsibility for the security of the Prime Minister inside the House mainly lies with the ‘Parliament Security Service’ and the Marshal. As per rules, no member is allowed to go near the seat of the Prime Minister or any minister.
