The Lok Sabha Speaker Mrs. Meira Kumar today said the presiding officer has various alternatives to ensure smooth functioning of the House but she has refrained from taking any harsh action so far. Anguished over repeated disruptions in Lok Sabha over women's bill issue, she said it does not look good to take stringent measures against respectable members of the august House. She was talking to newsmen outside the parliament.<br/> Mrs. Kumar said, what happened in the House is undesirable. Running the House is everyone's responsibility and they should allow the House to function peacefully. The Speaker evaded a question on whether she would use the services of marshal to maintain calm in the House.<br/> During the proceedings, SP, BSP and RJD members had trooped to the Well of the House to register their opposition to the Women's Reservation Bill, which was taken up in Rajya Sabha. An SP member had ever tried to climb on to the Speaker's podium but he retreated on a direction from party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.<br/> At one stage, Mr. Yadav had a verbal spat with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who is the the Leader of the House. Mr. Mukherjee appealed to Mr. Yadav with folded hands to end the disruptions.<br/>
