There isn’t any sense of regret among the many members who’ve actually insulted the parliamentary system by coming to the Well of the House, climbing on the desk, throwing paper, snatching paper from ministers and difficult the Chair, doing every part unparliamentary and undemocratic, Naidu mentioned.
