LS Speaker warns of action over protests in Parliament premises

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday warned members of action if any of them resorted to demonstrations and protests within the premises of Parliament.

The directions from the Speaker came after Parliament premises witnessed large-scale protests by both the opposition and treasury members on the issue of alleged insult to B R Ambedkar.

“Do not resort to demonstration or protest at any gate or anywhere in Parliament premises. Else, the House will have to take serious action,” Birla said in the House on Friday.
