Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has said that MPs are expected to maintain acceptable decorum in the House. In a letter to the MPs, ahead of Winter Session of Parliament, Ms. Mahajan said everybody expects decent and moral behaviour in every aspect of life and she hopes that members will also show behaviour as per the acceptable decorum to uphold the prestige and purity of the House. Ms. Mahajan said it is not unusual to have difference of opinion in a democracy. However, she said at times decency is thrown to the winds which leads to a situation of deadlock.<br/><br/>The Speaker's letter comes amidst anticipation that the upcoming session beginning Thursday could be stormy as the opposition is planning to corner the government over various issues.<br/>The last session of Parliament was a complete washout with opposition and government locking horns after demands were made for removal of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh Chief Ministers over various controversies.<br/>Amidst the bedlam, the Speaker had suspended 25 of the 44 Congress MPs for five days for disrupting the House.
