New Delhi: The Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has given a fair display of her assertiveness and her penchant to stick to rules in the ongoing Budget session of the Parliament.
“If you are so bent on giving suggestions, you should elect a new Speaker,” an angry Speaker Sumitra Mahajan remarked on Friday as she pulled up Jyotiraditya Scindia and Pappu Yadav for causing repeated disruptions and unruly scenes in the Lok Sabha, including tearing of papers.
Ms Mahajan was peeved over interruptions by Mr Scindia despite her giving a ruling that there cannot be any clarification to a minister’s statement in the Lok Sabha. Earlier, an agitated RJD member Rajesh Ranjan stormed the Well waving a newspaper and seeking a statement on the UPSC exam row. He later tore the newspaper and threw its pieces in the Well, with some landing on the table of the Speaker.
