During Question Hour, while asking a supplementary, Thakur wondered whether e-cigarettes are allowed in the House.

When Birla replied in the negative, the BJP MP said a TMC member has been “constantly smoking e-cigarettes in the House for the past several days”.

Several BJP members then demanded action against the opposition MP.

Amid uproar, Birla urged member to maintain dignity of the House. He said if a written complaint is lodged, he will take action.

E-cigarettes were banned in the country a few years ago.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
