Disagreements part of democracy but MPs need to maintain dignity of Parliament Om Birla

Expressing his anguish over the uproar in the Parliament during the recently concluded Monsoon session, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on September 1 said that the members of the Houses must maintain the dignity while sharing their views. "The members of Parliament have the privilege to express their views. I always try that they get extra time in the Parliament to share their opinions," he said. "India's democracy is a democracy of free expressions, a democracy of elected institutions of the people. Agreements and disagreements are part of the democracy but I expect the members to maintain certain decency in the Parliament." "Parliament should work ethically, our conduct should be such that we can play the guiding role for other democratic institutions," the Lok Sabha Speaker said.
