There were frequent protests against MPs using unparliamentary language when they spoke in Parliament. But since the rules were not specified, it was not clear which word was unparliamentary. Now, the word unparliamentary has been defined in the House of Representatives Rules.
The draft House of Representatives Rules-2083 defines the word unparliamentary. Sub-rule 'c' of the definition section of Rule 2 of the Rules states, 'Unparliamentary words' means words that are rude, obscene, insulting, offensive or contrary to public etiquette or morality and that are used to humiliate or otherwise affect, discriminate, degrade, make unsubstantiated accusations, or reflect geographical discrimination.'
The House of Representatives Rules Drafting Committee has prepared the new rules. The committee has submitted the rules to Speaker DP Aryal today.
