Speaking on the occasion, MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan recalled the high standard of debates in Parliament and the state Assemblies and said, "Many a time it happened that the person speaking in these Houses in a flow forgets about not using specific unparliamentary words."


He praised the Assembly for bringing out this book and said that it would help the members in understanding the issue in a better way.



The booklet also lists out the word 'sasur' (father-in-law), which reportedly was used in the House on September 9, 1954, and was expunged from the records. It has specified words and sentences that were expunged in the Assembly from 1954 to 2021, barring the period between 1990 and 2014.
