Telangana clashes: 'This is terrorizing parliamentary democracy,' says Veerappa Moily
New Delhi: Chaos reigned in both houses of the Parliament as MPs tore papers, threw mics and destroyed a computer. One MP even produced a knife and one sprayed pepper spray on other members of the House. Some MPs affected by the pepper spray were rushed to a hospital. The Telangana Bill was tabled in the Lok Sabha despite protests.
  • I will consult leaders for initiating action against the offenders. What has happened has shamed us.

  • It is very shameful. It hurt me after seeing what happened. I never imagined that in the history of Parliament something like this would happen. Congress led UPA government is responsible for all this.
    Rajnath Singh 13/2/2014
  • Ministers coming into the well of the House, throwing papers. It was disgraceful for Parliament. The government should just pass the vote-on-account and nothing else amid this chaos in Parliament.

  • It is terrorising parliamentary democracy. Speaker has to act very vigorously. Drastic action has to be taken against MPs.
    Veerappa Moily 13/2/2014
  • Disgraceful, unprecedented, unforgivable. I hold Congress party responsible for these clashes. It's a sad regression, the government must be held responsible for what is happening.
    Jaswant Singh 13/2/2014
  • What happened today in Lok Sabha is shameful. It is a big blot on parliamentary democracy. 25 members can't hold the House hostage.
    Kamal Nath 13/2/2014
  • Strong action will be taken against erring MPs as it was an attempt to "kill" members.
    Rajiv Shukla 13/2/2014
  • Matter of great shame what happened... Today's events diluted parliamentary democracy in India. They (MPs) should be expelled, criminal cases should be filed.
    Somnath Chatterjee 13/2/2014
  • What has happened today has been building over weeks and weeks. What was the Speaker doing? There is a very heavy abuse of privileges by the MPs.
