Whether or not they agreed with his style of working, MPs would surely miss this headmaster in the next Lok Sabha
Even though MPs requested him to refrain from taking such a decision, since the house is most indisciplined during this time, Chatterjee reiterated that the people of the nation have full right to know what goes on in the Parliament and that by telecasting Zero hour, it would be easier to control the house. In his four decade long career as a politician, July 23, 2008 was an unfortunate day for him, ironically just two days before his 79th birthday. It was the day when he was accused by his party members in CPI(M) of trying to save the UPA government and was expelled from the party.
There is a long story behind him being titled as the headmaster. Somnath Chatterjee was famously infamous for interrupting MPs, while they were locked in debate. Some MPs also complained that despite being given notice beforehand, he would not give them time to raise their issues. Whenever there was noise and chaos in the house, he would scold members as if they were students and he was the headmaster. When he was accused of these charges by one of the members of his own party, he became emotional and cried in the Lok Sabha. When he was bidding adieu, even members of CPI (M) were sad. Indeed, his presence will be sorely missed by supporters and detractors alike.
