Opposition Moves Resolution to Remove Om Birla as Lok Sabha Speaker The Lok Sabha has scheduled a session on Monday to address a resolution aimed at removing Om Birla as the Speaker of the House. The resolution, initiated by Opposition members, will be considered after 50 members stand up in support upon being called by the Chair. Once the notice is admitted, the resolution will proceed to discussion and voting. If fewer than 50 members support the notice, the resolution will not be moved. The agenda for Monday lists the resolution as the sole item for the day’s business. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju had previously stated that the resolution would be debated in the House on March 9. The notice will be moved by three Congress members—Mohamed Jawed, K Suresh, and Mallu Ravi. The proposed resolution criticizes Birla’s conduct, including his refusal to allow the Leader of the Opposition and other Opposition leaders to speak. It also highlights allegations of unwarranted accusations against women MPs from the Opposition. The resolution further points to the suspension of Opposition MPs for an entire session for raising issues of public concern, arguing that this action was taken despite their efforts to address matters unrelated to rebuking ruling party members for derogatory remarks against former PMs. It accuses Birla of abandoning an impartial stance necessary to maintain the confidence of all House members. The resolution claims his partisan behavior disregards the rights of members and involves rulings intended to undermine their privileges. Additionally, the resolution alleges that Birla openly supports the ruling party’s position on contentious issues, which is described as a threat to the House’s proper functioning.#congress #lok_sabha #om_birla #kiren_rijiju #parliamentary_affairs_minister
