Angered by members moving around the House immediately after Question Hour, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Wednesday pulled up MPs for treating the house like a school.

“What is happening? Is this a school?” asked the visibly anguished speaker as several members moved around inside and engaged in conversations.

Interestingly, the House had witnessed complete order during the first hour of business when it took up questions relating to various ministries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also present during the entire Question Hour period.

However, noisy scenes erupted immediately after the Question Hour and the Prime Minister left. As it got difficult to continue with business, Mahajan asked the MPs to remain silent and bring order in the House. As the noise continued, the Speaker said “please, please, order in the House.” With the Speaker’s remarks, order was restored and the noisy scenes ended.
