Guwahati: The use of phrases like “jumlajeevi,” “baal buddhi,” “Covid spreader,” and “snoopgate” will be regarded as unparliamentary in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, according to a new booklet by the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
Even words that are often used, such as “ashamed,” “abused,” “betrayed,” “corrupt,” “drama,” “hypocrisy,” and “incompetent,” have been categorised as being unparliamentary.
During the Monsoon session, which starts on July 18, words like “anarchist,” “Shakuni,” “dictatorial,” “taanashah,” “taanashahi,” “Jaichand,” “vinash purush,” “Khalistani,” and “khoon se kheti” would also be banned from usage if they are used in both houses during debates or in other contexts.
The brochure also includes a list of additional words that the Lok Sabha secretariat considers to be unparliamentary expressions, including “dohra charitra,” “nikamma,” “nautanki,” “dhindora peetna,” and “behri sarkar.”
The Lok Sabha Secretariat has created a list of phrases and expressions that are occasionally deemed unparliamentary by the Chair in various legislative bodies across the nation and in Commonwealth Parliaments for easy access in the future.
But when it comes to removing phrases and terms, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha will have the final say.
The compilation includes references to phrases that, in addition to those forbidden in some Commonwealth Parliaments in 2020, were deemed unparliamentary in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and state legislatures of India in 2021.
According to the list, some of the keywords might not seem improper if they are read alongside other terms used during legislative proceedings.
The list of prohibited language also includes any disparaging remarks directed towards the Chair in either English or Hindi, which will be deemed unparliamentary and struck from the Parliament’s records.
The Secretariat has identified certain English words as being improper for use in parliamentary proceedings, including “bloodshed,” “bloody,” “betrayed,” “ashamed,” “abused,” “cheated,” “chamcha,” “chamchagiri,” “chelas,” “childishness,” “corrupt,” “coward,” “criminal,” and “crocodile tears.”
Along with the word “disgrace,” other words including “donkey,” “drama,” “eyewash,” “fudge,” “hooliganism,” “hypocrisy,” “incompetent,” “mislead,” “lie,” and “untrue” would no longer be allowed to be used in Parliament.
Anarchist, Gaddar, Girgit, Goons, Ghadiyali Ansu, Apmaan, Asatya, Ahankaar, Corrupt, Kala Din, Kala Bazaari, and Khareed Farokht are a few other words that are recognised as being unparliamentary.
Additionally, terms like “danga,” “dalal,” “daadagiri,” “dohra charitra,” “bechara,” “bobcut,” “lollypop,” “samvedanheen,” “foolish,” “pitthu,” “behri sarkar,” and “sexual harassment” would be seen as impermissible and excluded from the record.
