New Delhi, Dec 8 (TIWN) Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla advised Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra in the House that the Speaker should not be accused on Twitter.

Without naming Moitra, Birla today said in the Lok Sabha, “Honourable members, I want to bring a subject to your notice that, be it inside the house or outside the house, comments made on the chair is not good for the dignity of the house. The dignity of the house is of a very high standard and every honourable member respects it. The chair always tries to be impartial and works impartially, runs the house by rules and the honourable member who sits on the speaker’s chair gets all the constitutional rights available to the chair. I request you that one should not make a comment about the chair either insider or outside the house.”  Birla said that there may be a difference of opinion between the member and the chair and members can always visit his chamber to talk about it. “This is the dignity of parliamentary democracy and I hope that you all will agree with this. I have taken serious cognisance of incidents that had happened in the past few days. I want to request all members that commenting on the chair, especially outside the house using social media and media is not right. You are a member of the house and you may have a conflict with the chair sometimes, you can come to my chamber to tell me about that. I will listen to you,” he said.
