There was an uproar in the rajya sabha on friday when a wad of notes was found on the congress bench. The Chairman himself has said this and he also said that this is a serious matter and it should be investigated. Which is also happening. Meanwhile, the question arises that if there is so much uproar over the discovery of cash from a seat, then what are the things that MPs cannot take to the House? So let's know the answer to this question.
What can be taken to the parliament House?
There are clear rules and regulations for both the Houses of parliament, lok sabha and Rajya Sabha. These rules determine the rights and duties of MPs as well as the manner of proceedings of the House. According to these rules, MPs are not allowed to take cash to the House.
What things can MPs take to the House?
MPs are allowed to bring only those things into the house which are related to the functioning of the house, such as notebooks, pens, or documents related to a bill or debate. These things are necessary to carry forward the proceedings in the right way. In view of security in the parliament house, MPs are allowed to carry only security related items with them, such as identity cards and other personal protective equipment. These items ensure the security of the parliament house and help in avoiding any kind of unexpected incident.
MPs should keep in mind that they bring only those things which do not affect the functioning of the House. Apart from this, they also have to maintain discipline in their behavior. If an mp brings any unnecessary thing into the house without permission, he can be warned and action can also be taken. MPs are allowed to bring certain things according to their personal needs, such as medicines, water bottle, etc. These items are to meet the health needs of the MPs.
