"Chudurbudur", the Bengali word that had rocked Parliament early this month, will not be deleted from the records, Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury has said.

On Jun 9, BNP lawmaker Rahana Akter Ranu had warned the government using her local language that "there was no scope for chudurbudur" – dillydally – with opposition's caretaker demand.
 

"The word is from a colloquial language," Speaker Chaudhury told.
"When the word was uttered in Parliament, I did not say it would be expunged. It is not obscene," she added.

Days after "Chudurbudur" stirred Parliament, India's largest circulating Bengali language daily Ananda Bazar Patrika turned to linguists to explore whether the word was indeed obscene, abusive and unparliamentary.

A report by the daily citing the Bangla Academy Dictionary edited by linguist Dr Muhammad Shahidullah, and quoting Kolkata’s top linguist Pabitra Sarkar, a former Vice-Chancellor of Rabindra Bharati University who works closely with the Bangla Academy, said 'chudurbudur' was a rural word and not obscene.

Speaker said she would resort to tough measures against both the ruling and opposition, if necessary.
 
"Actions will be taken against anyone as per regulations no matter who it is," she said.
