In a recent development, the Lok Sabha secretariat has put together a new pamphlet outlining terms and expressions that will be regarded as “unparliamentary” in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha before the Monsoon Session of Parliament, which starts on July 18.
However, the opposition is not happy with the development.
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi took to his Twitter handle and tweeted, ” New Dictionary for New India,” with a photo that looks like a dictionary definition of the word “unparliamentary”.
The picture reads, “Words used in discussions and debates which correctly describe the PM’s handling of the government, now banned from being spoken.” His tweet further read, “Jumlajeevi Tanashah shed Crocodile Tears when his lies and incompetence were exposed.”

Mahua Moitra also took to her Twitter handle and tweeted, “You mean I can’t stand up in Lok Sabha & talk of how Indians have been betrayed by an incompetent government who should be ashamed of their hypocrisy?”
