President on the solemn occasion of his Address to both the Houses of Parliament assembled
together under article 87 of the Constitution of India on 23.3.1971 and condemns their
undersirable, undignified and unbecoming behaviour.
The House discussed the matter at length but as more members wanted to participate, the
Minister of Parliamentary Affairs moved a motion: "That the discussion on the motion be
postponed to the next session," which was adopted. The motion, however, was not taken up
for further discussion in the next or any subsequent sessions.
In the following cases, however, the House did not take any note of the disturbances during
the President's Address:
On 20 December 1989, during the Address, as soon as the President read out the relevant
paragraph on Mandal Commission, a member of the Rajya Sabha started shouting about the
non-implementation of the assurances regarding Mandal Commission.
On 12 March 1990, during the Address, a member of the Rajya Sabha started making a
parallel speech in protest against the non-imple- mentation of the Mandal Commission
Report...he chose to walk out.
On 21 February 1991, during the Address, a member of the Rajya Sabha stood up and
protested against the absence of any reference in it to the Mandal Commission Report. He
then walked out.
On 11 July 1991, during the Address, a member of the Rajya Sabha caused interruption.
