Unparliamentary Words
TMC's Derek O'Brien dares govt to suspend him for using words banned in parliament
New Delhi: After the Centre issued the list of new words banned in parliament, Congress and Trinamool Congress slammed the move, with TMC IMP Derek O'Brien saying that he will use all the prohibited words in his speech while challenging the government to suspend him for using "basic words" for "fighting for democracy".
The Lok Sabha Secretariat issued a new booklet, where it has been said that the use of terms like 'jumlajeevi', 'baal buddhi', 'Covid spreader' and 'Snoopgate' will henceforth be considered unparliamentary in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha alongside commonly used words like 'ashamed', 'abused, 'betrayed', 'corrupt', 'drama', 'hypocrisy' and 'incompetent', media reports said.
Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien said, "Session begins in a few days. GAG ORDER ISSUED ON MPs. Now, we will not be allowed to use these basic words while delivering a speech in #Parliament : Ashamed. Abused. Betrayed. Corrupt. Hypocrisy. Incompetent. I will use all these words. Suspend me. Fighting for democracy."

Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress posted in a tweet in Hind that read, "Who will be afraid of 'Jumlajeevi' - who has given jumlas. Who will be afraid of the word 'Jaichand' - who has betrayed the country. These words are not being banned in Parliament, the fear of PM Modi is coming out."
'जुमलाजीवी' से किसको डर होगा- जिसने जुमले दिए हों।

'जयचंद' शब्द से कौन डरेगा- जिसने देश से धोखा किया हो।
