You would have
surely heard of this trending conversation between Rajya sabha members. I
prefer to read the highlights as mentioned here side. Now without wasting much
time, let's jump into the news.
Venkaiah Naidu,
chairman of the Upper House of Parliament, expressed grave concern about the
behavior. Some members during their protest over Pegasus snooping row and other
issues.
On Friday, they were
saying that such conduct lowered the dignity and prestige of the chamber.
Members were
whistling, he said, while others held placards to block ministers' views. Other
people placed their hands on the marshals' shoulders while MPs from opposition
parties such as the Congress and the TMC protested in the Housewell over
different issues.

"This is a
matter that concerns me greatly.”As the day began, Naidu made a statement. That
is my sincere appeal. I hope you will consider it. Because of this, we should
not exhaust the patience of the entire House."
To him, the choice is
between allowing this behavior to continue and turning the House into a
"bazaar" or taking action. “Decorum, prestige and practice
characterise a house.
Protests should not
harm the dignity and prestige of the House, Naidu said.”
Naidu said that
while protesting is acceptable, the dignity and prestige of the House should
not be compromised.
During the Monsoon
Session of Parliament, which began on July 19, opposition MPs have stymied
proceedings in the Rajya Sabha over issues ranging from Israeli Pegasus spy
software to snoop on political rivals, opponents of the government and
journalists to contentious farm laws and the fuel price hike.
As a result, the
phrase "siti Baja" is used (whistling because of an old habit). So
here we are in House, "Naidu made the statement.” Another issue is that
several members are putting their hands on top of the marshals' shoulders.
Their actions are unknown to me, and I have no idea why."
Others are standing
in front of the ministers, obstructing them, he said. "There are two ways
to deal with this: ignore it and let it turn into a bazaar, or take action
(market).” Everyone can whistle," says Har ek apna siti. "Naidu spoke
up for himself. It's time to get started.
The chairman
apologised profusely for having to say this on the stage. In addition, Naidu
said, MPs can protest, walk out of the House, express their vehement opposition
to the government, and even halt business.
The chairman of the
Rajya Sabha, who is also the country's vice president, said the Question Hour
and Zero Hour are the members' property, not the government's property. Member
questions are answered by ministers during Question Hour, while public issues
are addressed during Zero Hour.
Naidu said that when
members' names are called to ask questions or discuss topics for Zero Hour,
they do not respond because they are protesting in the Well.
There are several
ways people can learn more about the issues that their MPs plan to raise during
Zero Hour.
