Saket Gokhale’s Point of Order, referring to Rule 180B, on the rules pertaining to any Special Mention
Sir, point of order. No, no. I have a mic now. Yes, Sir. सर, आप मुझेबोलनेसेपहलेकरेक्ट करतेहैं। बोलनेके बाद कीिजए न। Sir, Rule 180B. No, no. I am coming to a specific point, Sir. It is the first one, the sub-clause (i). It is about Special Mentions: “It shall be accompanied by a text of the special mention not exceeding 250 words.” That is (i) I am referring to. उसके बाद मेंnumber (iv), “It shall not raise more than one issue and the issue shall not pertain to trivial matters;” उसके बाद मेंnumber (v), “It shall not contain arguments, inferences, ironical expressions, imputations, epithets or defamatory statements;”. Now, the point is, in terms of average word per minute of an average speaker,250 words is roughly about four minutes. It is two to three minutes. This is number one. Number two, about the text, we all submit Special Mentions. The text has to be adhered too. So, with due respect, I would like to request you to kindly expunge the remarks made by the hon. former Prime Minister, Mr. Devegowda. Yes, Sir
