Expressing strong displeasure over the continued logjam in Parliament, President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday said "disruption is totally unacceptable in Parliament".
Delivering the Defence Estate Day Lecture 2016 here on "Reforms for a stronger Democracy", the President said people send their representatives to Parliament to work for the country and not to agitate. “I have no intention of accusing any individual but it(disrupting Parliament ) has become a practice,” ANI quoted President as saying.
“Majority never participate in disruptions. Only minority come to the well, shout slogans, stop proceeding and create a situation,” he said. He also expressed concern that disruption of parliamentary work has become a "practice".
"Do your job," he told the MPs. "Dharnas can be organised anywhere else," he said asking all concerned to debate and discuss issues of public importance in the House.
