Independent MP refuses to vacate Opposition Leader’s seat

The new MP should be taught to be courteous. This is not the Old parliament where we have seen rowdyism, thuggery and uncultured members. Its a new era and people voted for change and he should have respected the Parliamentary customs and ethics. His actions are not appreciated by the mass public.

The new MP was made aware that there was no seat allocation and can sit anywhere. Thus he sat not knowing it’s the seat usually allocated to the leader of the opposition. It’s entirely the fault of the officials .If he had moved out the headline news would have been “ NEW MP THROWN OUT OF HIS SEAT FOR LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION.”. A very good lesson for parliamentary officials to learn some protocols well in advance.

I am sure he will do a better job than sajith, who's going to be doing nothing again.. It's free seating, if it's reserved then where's the sign.. Traditions don't matter if the country has been taken for a ride by the old guards .
