● What an MP says must adhere to the discipline of the Parliamentary Rules, the common sense of the members, and the Speaker’s supervision of the proceedings Under Rule 380 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Lok Sabha, the Speaker is given the authority to order the expunction of words or phrases that, in his or her judgment, are “defamatory or indecent or unparliamentary or undignified”.
