NEW DELHI, APR 2 : 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said short and important conversations were allowed but not long chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I will name you in future. It is important to maintain the dignity of the House,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speaker naming a member is considered an admonishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said a senior member like him should desist from such behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
