Lok Sabha Secretariat has released a list of words that will be considered unparliamentary, which includes ‘corrupt’, ‘lie’, ‘jumlajeevi’, ‘nikamma’, ‘hypocrisy’ and ‘incompetent’. Words like ‘anarchist’ and ‘dictatorial’ will also be expunged if used during debates. The list, however, said that some of the words may not appear unparliamentary unless read in conjunction with other expressions. Reacting to a list of words that are banned in the Parliament, Shiv Sena’s Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted, “Reminded of this meme. Agar karein toh karein kya, bolein toh bolein kya?” TMC’s Mahua Moitra tweeted, “Is ‘Truth’ unparliamentary?” Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, “All words used by the Opposition to describe the reality of Modi Sarkar now to be considered ‘unparliamentary’.”
