New Delhi: A new advisory has been sent out by the Parliament ahead of the Monsoon session, according to which members will have to refrain from distributing any leaflets, pamphlets or placards in the House. This comes a day after the controversial list of ‘unparliamentary words’ was released. The Lok Sabha Secretariat stated in the advisory that any printed matter cannot be distributed without the prior permission of the Speaker.

"As per established convention, no literature, questionnaire, pamphlets, Press notes, leaflets or any matter printed or otherwise should be distributed without the prior permission of Hon'ble Speaker within the precincts of the House. Placards are also strictly prohibited inside the Parliament House Complex”, the advisory read according to ANI.

Earlier on Friday, Opposition parties created a huge furore over the advisory which disallowed holding demonstrations and dharnas within the parliament complex.

"Members cannot use the precincts of the House for any demonstration, dharna strike, fast, or for the purpose of performing any religious ceremony. Kind cooperation of members is solicited," the circular stated, according to ANI.

Congress general secretary and chief whip of the party in Rajya Sabha Jairam Ramesh took to Twitter to criticise the government.

"Vishguru's latest salvo — D(h)arna Mana Hai!," he said, sharing a copy of the circular issued on July 14.

On Thursday, the Lok Sabha Secretariat released a booklet with a list of the words and expressions that will be considered unparliamentary in both Houses of Parliament, ahead of the Monsoon Session beginning July 18. Some such words are 'corruption', 'corrupt', 'Jumlajeevi', 'tanashah', 'Dictator', 'black' and 'Khalistani' among others.
