The Honourable speaker of the Lok Sabha, Somnath Chatterjee was so annoyed with British authorities that he called off his UK trip
British authorities conveyed to India that Somanth Chatterjee would be frisked upon arrival at Heathrow - like any aam traveller. Which, the Speaker felt, was an insult to the “high Constitutional office” he holds.
Now, honourable speaker, is it all that an insult to be treated on par with an ordinary citizen of the country. In times like these - when each one of us gets frisked, even if one were entering a mall or a multiplex, how does a simple frisking procedure insult the so-called high constitutional office you hold?
But, highly unlikely he’ll understand.
Had the MPs been frisked during the vote-of-confidence a couple of months ago - the one crore cash wouldn’t be displayed in the Lok Sabha. Right speaker?
