New Delhi | Newly elected Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has said that parliament is not a place for raising religious chants and he won’t allow such acts in the lower house of parliament in the future.
Responding to the slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram, Bharat Mata Ki Jai and Vande Mataram’ during the oath of MPs in Lok Sabha, the new Lok Sabha Speaker said, “I don’t think Parliament is the place for sloganeering, for showing placards, or for coming to the well.”
“There is a road for that where they can go and demonstrate. Whatever people want to say here, whatever allegations they have, however, they want to attack the government they can, but they can’t come to the gallery and do all this,” reported Hindustan Times quoting Birla.
Birla’s response comes after several BJP MPs raised slogans during the oath of AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi, Congress’ Sonia Gandhi, and TMC’s MPs.
