SPEAKER  MEIRA KUMAR WANTS 3YADAVS TO SAY SORRY  FOR MOCK LOK SABHA EPISODE PM-SONIA-ADVANI TO ATTEND SPEAKER MEETING ON WEDNESDAY MORNING From Our Delhi Bureau Mock Parliament is a major irritation for Speaker Meira Kumar. She wants to condem 3Yadavs for their 'drama' on mock Lok Sabha Misusing the Lok Sabha premises- in the glare of entire press gallery and some MPs... They made Lok Sabha a drama. A via media is being worked out. Lalu Prasad is planning to say "Sorry" on Wednesday, when house resumes session after three days. Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar is quite upset with the Troika of Yadavs -- Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Janata Dal (U) chief Sharad Yadav and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad -- for their regular defiance of her authority and not allowing her to conduct the business unless she yields to them to have the say. She has convened a meeting of leaders of all political parties Wednesday morning before resumption of the sittings after a 3-day break, urging the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi personally to attend as she wants to find out a consensual solution to upturn the falling decorum of the House. The meeting is convened at 9.30 AM to have enough time of 90 minutes to discuss the issues giving her a lot of pain and anguish, sources in the Speaker's House said. They said she may even offer to step down as the Speaker if the parties do not lend her support in putting the Yadavs in their place. They said she would also broach at the meeting the "unparliamentary conduct" of the MPs on Friday when they conducted a mock Parliament in the Lok Sabha hall after the House was adjourned for the day. With the help of the staff, she has drawn up the list of some 60 MPs who participated in the so-called mock session with Lalu Prasad as the "prime minister." She will put their names before the meeting and urge leaders of the parties to decide what exemplary punishment should be imparted to prevent recurrence of such drama bringing shame to the temple of democracy. Meira Kumar is understood to have also conveyed to Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee her unhappiness over no condemnation of the incident as the leader of House and instead resorting to placate the Yadav trio to allow the House conduct its business smoothly on Saturday. She felt the government should accommodate the Opposition for running the House without disruption, but it should not be done by shutting eyes to the members resorting to unparliamentary behaviour. ###
