    "content": "Under Rule 380 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business of the Indian Lok Sabha, the Speaker is vested with the power to order expunction of words, which in the opinion of the Speaker are defamatory or indecent or unparliamentary or undignified from the proceedings of the House. Similarly, the Speaker may order expunction of words which are defamatory or insinuatory in nature or levels allegations against a high dignitary or authority or organisation. Beside indecent and defamatory words, there are phrases that have over time been considered unparliamentary in various Parliaments. In cases where a Member uses the phrase or words and fails to withdraw, the Speaker can order that they be expunged from the records of proceedings. In most cases, the Speaker will issue an order to expunge any information immediately the words are uttered. The text form of those speeches is equally privileged. The removal of otherwise undignified phrases would therefore not be considered as injurious to the freedoms and privileges of the House."
