Speaker upset at noise in House
Irritated over noisy scenes in the Lok Sabha, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan asked MPs lashed out at the MPs, likening the House to a school.
Soon after Question Hour was over, the House witnessed noisy scenes, with several members seen talking to each other.
A visibly anguished Speaker asked: “What is happening? Is this a school?”
The House had earlier witnessed complete order during the first hour of business on Wednesday when it took up questions relating to various ministries.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also present in the House during Question Hour. However, when the Question Hour ended and the Prime Minister left, noisy scenes erupted.
As it got difficult to continue with the business, Mahajan asked the MPs to remain silent and bring order to the House.
As the noise continued, the Speaker said “please, please, order in the House.” With the Speaker’s remarks, order was restored and the noisy scenes ended.
