Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has stated that maintaining the dignity of Parliament is non-negotiable and has not ruled out "exemplary punishment" for the alleged use of an e-cigarette in the House. The complaint, filed by BJP MP Anurag Thakur, alleges a Trinamool Congress member was seen using an e-cigarette during proceedings. The Speaker confirmed the matter is under investigation and will be referred to a parliamentary committee, with potential actions including loss of membership. A purported video clip has been sent for forensic verification.
