'Raise questions with same intensity as you shout slogans': Om Birla schools opposition MPs over repeated disruptions

Moments before the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die, thereby bringing an end to the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament, Speaker Om Birla rebuked opposition MPs for causing repeated disruptions and wasting precious time during the Monsoon session of Parliament.

The session, which began on July 21, has seen heated debates and opposition protests over various issues, including allegations of “vote theft,” irregularities in Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision and Centre’s handling of Operation Sindoor and Pahalgam terrorist attack.

In a warning to sloganeering opposition MP, Om Birla asked them to raise questions with the same intensity as they “shout slogans”, adding that it would yield some benefits for the people of the country then.

“If you ask questions with the same force with which you are shouting slogans, it will be beneficial for the people of the country. The people have not sent you to destroy government property and I request you and warn you that no member has the privilege to destroy government property,” Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla could be heard telling the MPs as the session came to an end.
