The list of words and expressions declared unparliamentary is over 900 pages long.
The word "Godse" has now been declared unparliamentary. Parliamentarians can no more refer to anyone as a "Godse" or even say "Are you proud of Godse" on the floor of the House.
The new rule went down in the Parliament handbook today -- days after BJP member Sakshi Maharaj called Nathuram Godse a patriot in the same breath as Mahatma Gandhi.
"Godse was an aggrieved person," Sakshi Maharaj had said outside Parliament. "He may have done something by mistake but was not an anti-national. He was a patriot."
The matter came to light during the proceedings in Rajya Sabha on Friday, when CPI(M) member P Rajeeve found his mention of Godse during a debate expunged from the records.
On Thursday, while demanding a reply from the Prime Minister on the conversion issue, Mr Rajeeve referred to media reports about the Hindu Mahasabha's plans to erect statues of Godse.
He referred to Godse twice. And found both mentions expunged. Perplexed, he sought a clarification from the Chair, and found that "Godse" has joined the unparliamentary language list.
"It is amusing that the word Godse was expunged. Is the word 'Godse' unparliamentary?" Mr Rajeeve mused.
All of which, of course, puts Shiv Sena member from Nashik Hemant Godse in a piquant spot. What will the man who shares the surname now be called?
Some time ago, 'afraid' was picked as an unparliamentary word after a member in the Lok Sabha, during an argument, told a minister "don't be afraid of your job". "Honesty" was added to the blacklist after a member said, "honesty is nowhere near the mark as far as these gentlemen opposite (members of another party) are concerned."
The long list of words termed "unparliamentary" if used in a certain context includes "conspiracy", "false", "fraud", "illogical", "obsolete", "joker", "liar", "misleading", "mockery", "psychophants", "foreign money", "joke", "shy" and "giggle".
"Hitler", "Mussolini", "Idi Amin", "Ravan", "backdoor", "bad", "betray", "better-half" and "changing sarees" are also in the list.
