Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday asked first-time MPs to ensure uninterrupted proceedings in the House, bluntly telling them that no one becomes a leader by "coming into the Well of the House".
He assured them he will try to give everyone time to speak in the House.
"Members rush to the Well of the House to protest and disrupt proceedings. The Lok Sabha is a place to debate, discuss and raise issues, and its members should ensure uninterrupted proceedings," Birla said.
He was addressing the parliamentarians at an orientation programme organised by the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
Underlining that maintaining dignity of the House should be of paramount importance, Birla said, "No one becomes a leader by coming into the Well of the House...that time has gone."
