Lok Sabha resolution against Team Anna for derogatory language

[1]

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday accepted a resolution against Anna Hazare and Team Anna - asking them to refrain from using derogatory language against members of Parliament.

JD-U leader Sharad Yadav moved the resolution in Lok Sabha.

Slamming Team Anna, Yadav said 'Team Anna has developed a trend to criticise parliamentarians and steps must be taken to restore beliefs in Parliament'.

Team Anna on Monday came under sharp attack in Lok Sabha with members from all sides slamming civil society members for using derogatory language against parliamentarians during a day long fast here.

Even as members spoke against Team Anna, MPs from Congress belonging to Telangana as also those from TRS and TDP rushed to Well shouting slogans in support of statehood.

Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj said that by speaking against democratic institutions, the civil society members were indirectly inviting dictatorship.

She said while on the one hand, it wants the Lokpal Bill to be cleared by Parliament and on the other, it was accusing the MPs of being corrupt.

She said if MPs were 'looters', 'corrupt' and 'rapists', then why did Team Anna send three of its demands to be incorporated in a resolution passed by Parliament.
