New Delhi, Aug 29: Thumping the desk is considered by some as passing a resolution, an opposition member remarked in the Lok Sabha today in an obvious dig at the way the debate on the Lokpal issue was concluded.
“Madam, earlier, you said about children of India and the whole House supported you in that. I also wanted to thump my desk but I was scared because thumping the desk is considered by some as passing a resolution,” Tathagat Sathpathy (BJD) said in the Lok Sabha today.
He had risen to ask a supplementary question during Question Hour on modernisation of communication system in ships to prevent accidents.
There was confusion whether a resolution had been passed or only a sense of the House taken in both Houses of Parliament on Saturday during the debate on the Lokpal issue.
Sathpathy’s comment led to laughter in the House while the Treasury Benches maintained a discrete silence.
