A TDP member's attempt of playing Lord Krishna in the Well of the Lok Sabha and some other members showing placards today were "deprecated" by Deputy Speaker Karia Munda.

"The conduct of several members in the House today in showing banners and placards in the Well..., shouting slogans and one member dressed up dramatically and attempting to play the flute in the Well of the House was highly derogatory to the dignity of the House," he said.

Deprecating the conduct of the members in the "strongest possible terms", he hoped that there shall "not be a recourse to such behaviour in future."
 

His observations came close on the heels of TDP members, protesting over the decision on Telangana, storming the Well with one of them, Naramalli Sivaprasad, in the garb of Lord Krishna wearing a crown, a garland and holding a flute and 'Sudarshan Chakra' targeting Congress and seeking justice for Seemandhra.

Sivaprasad is from the Chittoor (SC) Lok Sabha constituency which falls in the Rayalseema region of Seemandhra. His action of playing Krishna left most of the members amused.
