Speaker Birla cautions ministers, members against long chats in House chamber
New Delhi (PTI): Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday cautioned Union ministers and MPs against having long conversations in the House when proceedings were underway and warned that he will name them in future.
As soon as the Zero Hour began at 12 noon, Birla said he has seen members and ministers talking for half-an-hour with each other during House proceedings.
He said short and important conversations were allowed but not long chats. "I will name you in future... it is important to maintain the dignity of the House," he said.
The speaker naming a member is considered an admonishment.
Earlier, during the Question Hour, the speaker had warned Independent MP Pappu Yadav against talking to a fellow member while showing back to the Chair. He said a senior member like him should desist from such behaviour.

Woman techie dies by suicide in Hyderabad over 'dowry harassment'
Hyderabad (PTI): A 26-year-old woman software professional from Bihar allegedly died by suicide at her residence here due to "harassment" by her husband for additional dowry, police said on Thursday.
The woman was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the hall of the flat on Wednesday by her husband.
On receiving information about the incident, the police reached the spot and conducted inquiry.
Based on the complaint filed by the woman's family members, a case was registered at Miyapur Police Station and her husband was taken into custody.
According to a police official, the deceased woman, a native of Bihar, befriended a man from Madhya Pradesh through on a social media platform in 2020, and since the last five years they were in a live-in relationship.
In February this year, they got married in Patna in the presence of their family members. After marriage, the couple were staying in an apartment in Miyapur here.

Unable to bear the harassment, she died by suicide, the official said, based on preliminary investigation.
