A photo of a circular prohibiting acts like protests, strikes, religions ceremonies etc. in Parliament campus is viral with prominent people calling it to be new.
The circular says “Members cannot use the precincts of the House for any demonstration, Dharna, Strike, Fast, or for the purpose of performing any religious ceremony.”
AAP’s Sanjay Singh tweeted –
संसद का नया फ़रमान, सांसदों का है अपमान।
Translation – “The new decree of the Parliament is an insult to the MPs.”

No circular issued in Lok Sabha, but it’s a process that has been continuing…since 2009 and even before that.
