Even opposition members of Lok Sabha have appreciated best-ever utilisation of on-going budget-session of Lok Sabha under Speaker Om Birla who has also made Lok Sabha work in true Indian style by conducting proceedings in Hindi rather than traditional till-now English. Usual – the ayes have it or the noes have it – have been replaced by – haan paksh jeeta – or naa paksh jeeta, whatever the case may be.
He has even asked members for not wasting even a single second by usual thanking to the Chair before start of their speeches. He has even, rightly too, objected to Parliamentarians talking to each other while the House is in session, and even objected to members going to seats of others while Speaker was on chair. It should be hoped that his strict discipline will make the House work in more productive manner best utilising each penny from public-exchequer on costly proceedings of Lok Sabha.
