Tharoor: We are pained that the Speaker was hurt by the behavior of the MPs. Unfortunately, such things have been part of the accepted culture of our parliamentary democracy. It started with the BJP when the Congress was in power, when they regularly resorted to disruptions. Personally, I am not a supporter of disruption. But you have to understand why the opposition is behaving like this. There is a huge problem facing our country – Manipur where there have been a large number of deaths, 60,000 people have been displaced, houses and churches have been destroyed, even a minister’s house has been burnt down… in our country What could be a more serious issue than this? How can the Prime Minister remain silent? What the opposition is saying is this: Prime Minister should come and tell us what is happening. There are examples, including the 2002 address to the House by the then Prime Minister Vajpayee on the Gujarat riots. This is a reasonable demand.
