Pepper spray, gun, knife: How MPs carried in banned items
Wednesday, 13 December 2023 Parliament witnesses unparliamentary activities and breaches by members. Lagadapati Rajagopal used pepper spray in Lok Sabha during a protest against Telangana legislation. An MP was rumored to have a knife. Anand Mohan Singh was found with a gun in the LS chamber and broke a glass door pane. In the mid-1990s, protestors jumped from the visitors' gallery into Lok Sabha during the Uttarakhand formation movement. MPs carrying banned substances or devices differ from visitors doing the same.

Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan voiced strong objections following a tense exchange with Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Bachchan criticised the tone used by the Chair, asserting that MPs should not be treated like "school children," especially senior members of Parliament. She expressed particular frustration over the Chairman's decision to cut off the microphone when the Leader of the Opposition attempted to speak, calling it an undemocratic act. Bachchan further condemned the use of what she described as "unparliamentary language," recounting how Dhankhar dismissed her stature as a celebrity, stating, "You may be a celebrity, I do not care." In response, Bachchan emphasised her long-standing experience as a parliamentarian, noting that she was now serving her fifth term. Deeply offended by the conduct in the House, she demanded an apology, arguing that the current discourse in Parliament had reached an unprecedented low.

Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi says, "It is our right to meet anyone. But they are not allowing it. I had spoken about farmers. Speaker told the House that they are not being stopped. Now they have been stopped again. There is a Sri Lanka issue of farmers. There were also people from Child Welfare...I keep doing this (meeting delegations)...My life becomes a bit more difficult as it is easier to meet them there (LoP Chamber in Parliament). Otherwise, now I have to keep coming here."

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar clashed with Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O'Brien over wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s Paris Olympics disqualification.

Dhankhar warned O'Brien about the gravity of challenging Parliament's decorum and likened the situation to past emergency phases. Following the altercation, the Opposition walked out of the session.

Amidst escalating unrest in Bangladesh, protesters stormed the Parliament building, creating chaos and firing smoke cannons. The upheaval followed a violent rampage at Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s official residence, Ganabhaban, on August 5. Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country, landing at Hindon Air Base in India. Disturbing visuals showed protesters sitting on benches, taking pictures, and recording videos of the disorder they caused. The mass protests, led by students, were sparked by grievances over government job quotas and quickly escalated into widespread violence.
