Amid the constant back and forth between the BJP and Opposition parties, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla asked members of the Parliament to maintain decorum so the House could run.

"This house is meant for holding discussions and dialogues. Let's talk about policy and a have good discussion on issues related to public welfare. If we want people's welfare and consider this house a temple of democracy, I will request that at least don't comment on this house," Birla said as quoted by PTI. 

"It is not right to comment, either inside (the house) or outside. Talk about issues and policy here. It is not right to bring placards like this here. I am warning. This is wrong," he said. "Placards and sloganeering are never allowed in the house. Go back to your seats. I will give you adequate time to speak," Birla said.
