Listen To Our Honourable MPs
Check out this entertaining excerpt of a recent question hour at the Rajya Sabha. My favourite bit comes at the end:
Mr Chairman: The Question Hour is over.
Dr V Maitreyan: Sir, it is very unfortunate that you are giving opportunity to ask questions only...(Interruptions). I am raising my hand for half an hour. This is very unfair. I want to protest against this. Only Members from Congress and BJP do not exist in this House. From tomorrow, I will disrupt the Question Hour...(Interruptions).
Apropos of nothing, I remember school.
(Link via Prem Panicker, who points out that “this is what is costing all us taxpayers Rs 26,000 per minute.” My happiness knows no bounds.)
