Speaker Om Birla cautioned Modi during tense Lok Sabha session
Sources say no threat to PM Modi as opposition disrupted Lok Sabha with table climbing and threatening remarks.
New Delhi witnessed tense scenes in the Lok Sabha last week, with sources rejecting Opposition claims that there was no threat to the Prime Minister. They said these claims do not match what actually happened inside the House.
Sources said on Monday that statements made by Opposition MPs and party leaders were not based on facts. These remarks claimed that Speaker Om Birla had no reason to advise Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to enter the House to reply to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address. Sources said this claim is misleading.
They explained that the situation inside the Lok Sabha was already fragile that day. The Prime Minister was scheduled to speak, but the atmosphere was far from normal. Opposition members created loud disruptions and refused to follow the Chair’s directions.
According to sources, the trouble did not end inside the House. After the ruckus, several Opposition MPs went to the Speaker’s Chamber. There, they allegedly used harsh and unparliamentary language.
Sources said some MPs also made threatening remarks. One such comment was, “देखते हैं PM का क्या करते हैं,” which translates to “Let’s see what PM does.” Sources said such words were serious and disturbing.
They added that this behavior was not expected from elected representatives. It raised concerns about safety and respect for democratic norms. Sources said these actions showed how tense and unstable the situation had become.
Sources also pointed out that the mood in the Lok Sabha had been worsening from the very start of the Budget Session. From day one, repeated disruptions affected normal proceedings.
They said Opposition members climbed tables, shouted slogans, and ignored repeated appeals from the Speaker. This made it difficult to conduct business in a calm and safe manner.
According to sources, such scenes created real concern about security inside the House. They said the dignity of Parliament was at risk due to constant chaos.
Sources stressed that the Speaker’s advice to the Prime Minister was based on these ground realities. They said it was a precaution, not a political move.
They added that suggesting there was no threat ignores what unfolded that day. The words spoken and actions taken by some MPs made the situation unpredictable.
Sources said the Speaker’s role is to protect the House and everyone inside it. His decision was made in that spirit.
They also said that Parliament must remain a place for debate, not threats. Strong disagreement is part of democracy, but there are limits.
The sources concluded by saying that order and respect are essential for Parliament to function. When those break down, safety becomes a real concern.
They urged all sides to reflect on their conduct and restore decorum. The events of that day, they said, should not be brushed aside or denied.
