'Unparliamentary' stands for words used in discussions and debates which "correctly" describe the PM's handling of the government, now banned from being spoken, the image Rahul Gandhi shared read.

Rahul Gandhi captioned the image as "New Dictionary for New India."

Ahead of Monsoon Session of Parliament, the Lok Sabha secretariat has released a booklet terming the use of words like 'jumlajeevi', 'baal buddhi', 'Covid spreader' and 'Snoopgate' considered to be unparliamentary in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The order has sparked outrage among the Opposition leaders who have deemed it a curb on the freedom of speech and expression.

TMC MP Derek O' Brien said, "Now, we will not be allowed to use these basic words while delivering a speech in #Parliament : Ashamed. Abused. Betrayed. Corrupt. Hypocrisy. Incompetent I will use all these words. Suspend me. Fighting for democracy."

Session begins in a few days
