Special Report of Vijayawada MP L.Rajagopal Executed in LoK Shaba...

What Vijayawada MP L. Rajagopal used in the Lok Sabha in an act that left fellow MPs in tears is a chemical substance banned in war.

The difference between the street and Parliament blurred on Thursday as pepper spray, shards of broken glass, uprooted microphones and brawls turned Lok Sabha into a battlefield between supporters and rivals of the state of Telangana.

The vandalism saw four MPs being taken to hospital - three were later discharged - and resulted in the suspension of 16 MPs who will not be allowed to enter Lok Sabha when it meets on Monday. There were reports of "watch and ward" staff of Lok Sabha foiling what could have potentially been an incendiary protest by recovering and seizing a can of inflammable liquid from an unidentified MP.

Congress, which is determined to create the separate state of Telangana in order to bag a majority of 17 seats from the region, did succeed in getting the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Bill "introduced", but only after Parliament, although used to ever-declining standards of conduct, had plumbed new depths.

 Vijayawada MP L. Rajagopal used in the Lok Sabha in an act that left fellow MPs in tears and the entire House red-faced is a chemical. This substance banned in war.

The spray chemical is called capsaicin, derived from the fruits of plants like capsicum or chili. What goes into the can, as sold in India, is capsaicin converted into a resin, mixed with an emulsifier and water, and then pressurized.

When sprayed in a person’s face, capsaicin immediately causes his/her eyes to close, obstructs breathing, causes a runny nose and coughing. As capsaicin is not soluble, washing the eyes after an attack does not help. Time is the main healer, typically one or two hours, depending on the person’s health.

“The spray contains an irritant that doesn’t burn, but causes a reaction like a burn,” said Mohan Kameswaran, a senior ENT surgeon in Chennai. “In people with conditions like asthma or allergic conjunctivitis, it could worsen the condition and make it critical.”

According to the European Parliament Scientific and Technological Options Assessment report, published in 1998, temporary blindness is also possible for 15-30 minutes and upper-body spasms, for three to 15 minutes.

Though banned in many countries, pepper spray is legal in India and does not require any license or documentation to buy. However, manufacturers require a government license. A canister costs between Rs.150 and Rs. 1,000.

My suggestion..

What is more shameful is we have people among us who support his actions, saying he didn't have a choice! Ridiculous! It's a democracy and he didn't have a majority, plain and simple. He resorted to this heinous act because he knows that the bill would be passed if there is a vote. Instead of stating the facts, people are saying he didn't have a choice? He has all choices provided to him, according to the constitution, there is nothing illegal going on here, we have judicial system even if any wrong has been done. Would it be acceptable if ruckus will  created in the All States  Assembly by the supporters of the bill and claim they didn't have  a choice.

 This MP must be disqualified & banned from contest elections for the rest of his life. This is the exemplary punishment for such acts.
