Derek O’Brien raised the issue of precedence regarding Rule 267 during Zero Hour
Sir, this is a good start. I mean, leave the politics out. This is a good start. I mean, a sense of humour in this House will do all of us good. So, that is the spirit. We can have a sense of humour. Sir, since you raised a specific question about Rule 267 — and I was one of the Members, there were seven of us, I remember, there were seven parties; there was the Congress, surely there, and five parties, DMK,
Trinamool, etc. — this was the last time, Sir, to bring to your attention, as a precedent, when Rule 267 was, in fact, used or implemented, and, at that time, Sir, the notice was given. I am only here to share that notice, and we can discuss it in a decent way later. And, that time was November, 2016, just after demonetization. There were different notices. Yes, Sir. My one point. There were different notices from Members, and all that the notice said was, please implement Rule 267 and take up a discussion on demonetization. That was it. That
was the notice, and we had a discussion. That’s all I have to say, Sir.Nothing more. Thank you
