Lok Sabha likely to debate resolution seeking Speaker Om Birla’s removal in first week of upcoming session
Congress and BJP have issued whips to their members, directing them to be present in the Lok Sabha from March 9 to 11 for the second part of the Budget Session. The Opposition filed a resolution seeking Speaker Om Birla’s removal due to “partisan behavior,” citing specific instances as justification. The Trinamool Congress did not sign the resolution, arguing that the issue should have been addressed in a more gradual manner. While the first part of the session saw sharp exchanges between the ruling and Opposition parties, including the suspension of eight members for violating rules, Birla decided to abstain from proceedings until the no-confidence motion against him is resolved.
