38 hours of Lok Sabha and 33 hours of Rajya Sabha wasted due to chaos

• The Lok Sabha functioned only for 4 hours and the Rajya Sabha for 8 hours and 2 minutes
• A total of ₹53.85 crore was wasted in both the Houses

• It is disgraceful for the politicians in India. Permanently revoke the membership of the MPs who caused disorder, and recover the cost against the losses from them. It will make undisciplined MPs realise their mistake.
• The world runs on the fear of punishment; however, the unruly politicians in India have been making a fuss in the House for the last several decades as they have no fear of punishment, thereby wasting the people’s money. Yet they walk with no repentance.
• An employee of any company will get paid for the day only after he works for 8 to 10 hours that day. A person is fired from the job even if he does not work for a few days. Why politicians are exempted from this rule ? Is being elected a license to cause mayhem in the House ? Will the future of the country ever be safe in their hands ?

MPs who commit misconduct like throwing papers will face action hereafter – Speaker, Lok Sabha

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has warned all the MPs about possible action against any misconduct like throwing the papers. The Opposition MPs had thrown papers on 28th July.

If any MP has a problem, he should come to my office and raise it’.
