Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, continuing her critique of the list of "unparliamentary" words released by the Lok Sabha Secretariat, on Friday posted the latest in what she calls a Twitter series on “replacements for unparliamentary words”.
"Banned word- Eyewash. Replacement- AmritKaal," she tweeted.
In another snippy tweet, The Trinamool leader shared a list of words "that can still be said in Parliament", featuring controversial words used by BJP leaders in past. The list has words like "Bulldozer" - which has come to symbolize action taken against those accused of rioting in BJP-ruled states - and the infamous "Goli Maro" slogan.
"No word has been banned," Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla clarified on Thursday as the political temperatures soared over the list.
The updated list of words has been drawing massive criticism from the opposition parties who claim the booklet with several commonly used words, such as "ashamed" and "corrupt" will impede their ability to critique the government.
Yesterday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi termed the compilation the "New Dictionary for New India". Trinamool's Derek O'Brien declared he will use those words and dared the government to act against him.
Government sources said the list is not a new suggestion, but merely a compilation of words already expunged in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha or state legislatures.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat's list of unparliamentary words say words like 'baal buddhi', 'vinash purush', and 'Snoopgate' along with everyday expressions like 'dictatorial', 'ashamed', 'abused, 'betrayed', 'drama', 'hypocrisy' and 'incompetent' would be expunged if used during debates or otherwise.
