News India Live, Digital Desk: Debate on Decent Behavior In Parliament: The Bihar Legislative Assembly often saw a ruckus and dramatic scenes, which raise questions on the dignity of the House. Recently, Assembly Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav reprimanded the opposition MLAs for his behavior and appealed to him to maintain the dignity of the House, especially thinking “what would the children think?” His remarks came after the consistent noise and disruption of the opposition.
Indeed, during the assembly session, the opposition MLAs often try to raise slogans, to come to the weled, and disrupt the proceedings. Nand Kishore Yadav has earlier urged MLAs to repeatedly follow the rules of the House and respect the democratic process.
When the ruckus was out of a limit, Chairman Nand Kishore Yadav said in strong words that MLAs, especially the members of the opposition, forget that their activities are not only seen by adult citizens but also small children. He reminded the legislators that they are in the temple of democracy and their behavior negatively affects the children and the coming generations. He insisted that if the MLAs only create anarchy in the House, then what ideals will we give to the children and what they will be able to learn from us.
The purpose of his advice was to take restraint in their conduct and participate in meaningful debate on important public interest issues, not just to disrupt the proceedings. Nand Kishore Yadav, who is a experienced leader himself, has always been in favor of ensuring following the rules and traditions of the House.
This incident has taken place not only in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, but has often raised issues of uproar and untouchable behavior in the assemblies and Parliament across India. This remark of the Speaker is an important moral appeal to MPs and MLAs to understand the seriousness of their role in public life and present a positive and exemplary behavior on the highest platform of democracy.
