US EditionParliament Budget Session LIVE: Congress MP Mohammed Jawed Moves Resolution to Remove Lok Sabha Speaker
A 10-hour debate on the motion to remove Speaker Om Birla was set amid protests and claims of denial of speaking rights to 118 opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi.
- On Tuesday, Congress MP Mohammad Jawed moved a resolution in the Lok Sabha to table a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, reported by ANI.
- Accusing the Speaker of partisan actions, the Opposition argued the motion follows alleged conduct including blocking Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi and suspending eight MPs during the Budget debate by 118 Opposition MPs.
- Under the Constitution of India, removal requires a resolution passed by a majority of all members with at least 14 days' notice; Birla has not presided since February 10 and must vote by paper slip.
- Jagdambika Pal, BJP MP , granted leave after more than 50 MPs stood in favour, the House allotted 10 hours for debate, and Kiren Rijiju, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister, will initiate discussion.
- Amid concerns about parliamentary norms, Congress frames the motion as a political statement highlighting the Deputy Speaker post left vacant for around seven years and rare no-confidence motions faced by GV Mavalankar, Hukam Singh, and Balram Jakhar.
