US EditionBudget Session Resumes Today: All Eyes on No-Trust Resolution Against Birla and EAM Statement on West Asia Conflict
The opposition alleges Speaker Om Birla has lost impartiality and favored the ruling party; 118 MPs signed the resolution despite NDA's majority of 335 seats.
- On Monday, March 9, 2026 the second part of the Budget Session opens with a debate on a Motion of Removal against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, signed by 118 Opposition MPs and listing Congress MPs Mohammad Jawed, K. Suresh and Mallu Ravi.
- Opposition alleges the resolution claims `ceased to maintain an impartial attitude` and disregarded members' rights, with moves to remove a Lok Sabha Speaker being rare but not unprecedented in 1954, 1966, and 1987.
- Procedural rules state if fewer than 50 members stand in support the motion lapses, but if not less than 50 rise the Chair grants leave and the resolution must be disposed of within 10 days.
- Given the numbers, the motion is unlikely to succeed as the ruling NDA has about 335 seats and the opposition INDIA bloc has 230 MPs, underscoring its largely symbolic nature.
- The move positions the Opposition to use the debate to formally place allegations of bias on record, despite the motion's unlikely success, as TMC's support helped project unity.
