New Delhi, March 1 - Joining millions of cricket fans in the country, the Lok Sabha Thursday sent its best wishes to the Indian cricket team that have left for the West Indies for the World Cup beginning March 11.
'I am sure the house will join me in sending our best wishes to the Indian Cricket team,' Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee said.
The 15-member Squad left for the Caribbean from Mumbai early Thursday morning.
When Republican Party of India MP Ramdas Athawale said the house wanted the team to win the World Cup, Chatterjee quipped: 'It needs some discipline. Let the players not follow the parliamentarians.'
He was referring to repeated disruptions seen in both houses of parliament this week as the opposition demanded a statement on the government's moves to extradite Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrrocchi, the accused in the Bofors pay-off scandal, who was arrested in Argentina Feb 6.
The speaker also congratulated Congress MP Naveen Jindal, who won a gold medal in the fifth Sardar Sajjan Singh Sethi Memorial Masters Shooting Championship in Jaipur and a silver at the National Games in Guwahati last month.
