Hurt by ruckus in Lok Sabha, Speaker stays away from chairing proceedings

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla didn’t chair proceedings on Wednesday as he was “deeply hurt” by ruckus in the House in the past two days, sources said.

Birla, who usually chairs House proceedings at the start of the day, was present in Parliament on Wednesday but didn’t come to Lok Sabha.

In his absence, the proceedings were chaired by members designated as presiding officers.

Sources said Birla was “deeply hurt” by the continuous ruckus, unruly scenes and scuffle between the members from the treasury and opposition benches, sources said. (AGENCIES)
