Lok Sabha fails to take up resolution to remove Speaker as INDIA bloc insists on discussion on West Asia crisis first
The Lok Sabha failed to take up a resolution seeking the removal of Speaker Om Birla due to repeated adjournments caused by Opposition demands for a full discussion on the West Asia crisis. Kiren Rijiju, Parliamentary Affairs Minister, labelled the Opposition’s actions “irresponsible”, while External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar already addressed the issue in both Houses. The Opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, argued that the West Asia crisis and its economic impact on India are crucial issues demanding a debate before addressing the Speaker removal resolution.
