BJP member Anurag Thakur accused a TMC MP of using an e-cigarette in the Lok Sabha. The Speaker, Om Birla, promised action if a written complaint is filed. E-cigarettes are currently banned in India, leading to calls for accountability and maintaining decorum in the House.

In a dramatic turn of events during the Question Hour in Lok Sabha on Thursday, BJP member Anurag Thakur raised allegations against an unnamed TMC MP, accusing them of using an e-cigarette within the House premises.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, addressing the concern, assured members that action would be taken if a written complaint is received. Thakur's query about the legality of e-cigarettes in the House was met with a firm 'no' from Birla.

Amidst growing uproar, several BJP members demanded immediate action against the opposition member. The incident has spotlighted the ban on e-cigarettes in India, invoking discussions on accountability and the dignity of parliamentary proceedings.
