New Delhi, July 14: The Opposition has raised questions regarding the new list of unparliamentary words released by the Lok Sabha Secretariat. Many leaders including Congress MP Rahul Gandhi have termed it wrong.
Gandhi tweeted on Thursday that “New Dictionary for New India” has come to the fore. He shared the definition of the word ‘unparliamentary’ are the words that correctly define the working style of Prime Minister’s government in discussion and debate are now banned.
“Jumlajeevi Tanshah shed Crocodile Tears when his lies and incompetence were exposed,” Gandhi tweeted targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said that the words which the government is making unparliamentary have been used by Prime Minister Modi in his parliamentary work. He himself has used these words, why are they being called wrong now. We will raise this issue during the debate in Parliament on this subject.’
New rules regarding vocabulary have been issued in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha prior to the Monsoon session starting from July 18.
In the new booklet of the Lok Sabha Secretariat, it has been said that words like ‘Jumlajeevi’, ‘Baal Buddhi’ (childish), ‘Covid Spreader’ and ‘Snoopgate’ will be treated as unparliamentary in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The list also includes words like Shakuni, Dictator, Dictatorship, Jaichand, Vinash Purush (destroyer/destructor), Khalistani, and Farming with blood. There are also English words used for ashamed, abused, betrayal, corrupt, drama, hypocrisy and incompetent.
AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi says it is not an issue of unparliamentary language, it is also necessary to see the context in which it has been said. ?If they say in Parliament that ‘I will kill the Modi government by throwing flowers’ because they have made the youth of the country unemployed, will the government declare ‘unparliamentary’??
Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha has said that after reading these words list of the government, it seems that the government knows very well how their work is defined. To say ‘Jumlajeevi’ has become unparliamentary, but to say ‘Agitator’ has not become unparliamentary.
