The Sanskritisation of a tradition continued

If you thought that chair throwing, collar grabbing, slogan shouting, challenging opponents in plain Hindi/English/others, porn watching and so on in the Parliament/Assembly was enough, there were full range of expletives hurled by Punjab deputy CM in Assembly which went viral on youtube. The opposition grabbed the opportunity and even went on to show the recorded video on a screen in sector-17, Chandigarh.
The interesting thing was that the speaker suspended another member from opposition with whom the clash of the deputy CM had started and almost nothing was heard from his mouth though his lips were moving as well.
It seems the tradition of creating mayhem in Parliament/Assembly has been ingrained into the accepted culture inside these temples of democracy meant for discussion and debates.
