Amidst the parliament session, opposition leaders on Tuesday said that they will decide on giving a notice for moving a resolution to remove the Lok Sabha Speaker from office after a meeting with Om Birla.
Leaders of various opposition parties deliberated on the issue during a meeting of floor leaders held at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s chamber on Tuesday morning.
The decision came from opposition parties on Monday for disallowing Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders from speaking in the House on the Motion of Thanks to the president’s address, as reported by the Siasat. Com
While several opposition parties—including the Congress, RJD, Samajwadi Party, DMK, and the Left—are on board and have signed the notice against the Speaker, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has not done so so far.
Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has also not signed the notice seeking to move a resolution for the Speaker’s removal, Siasat.com further reports.
The opposition will decide on moving notice against the speaker to the Lok Sabha secretary general.
It has also been reported that the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and others have met Birla on Monday to work out a middle-ground solution to the stalemate, considering the house has not been functioning properly.
The notice in light of this would be given in Lok Sabha soon, and signatures of MPs would be produced.
It is imperative to note that the Lok Sabha has not been functioning properly since Gandhi has not been allowed to speak on February 2. Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha flagged off the discussion on the Union Budget for 2026-27.
