Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday urged House members to keep their queries short and to the point so that more questions can be taken up during the Question Hour.

When BJP MP Devusinh Chauhan was speaking about the government's commitment to clean energy, Birla interrupted him to keep the introduction short and come to the point.

Birla has been insisting that at least 20 oral questions are taken up during the Question Hour.
