No-confidence motion: Notice against Om Birla may be rejected
Opposition MPs have sent a notice for a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, but it may be rejected due to identified deficiencies in the document.
During the ongoing budget session of the Lok Sabha, opposition MPs submitted a notice for a no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday. However, sources within the Lok Sabha have indicated that the notice contains several deficiencies, which may lead to its rejection. The notice has mentioned events from February 2025 four times, prompting the Speaker to instruct the secretariat to ensure necessary corrections are made before proceeding according to regulations.
The notice will be listed for consideration after the second phase of the budget session begins, and its evaluation will occur after correcting the noted mistakes. This situation unfolds alongside the ongoing suspension of eight opposition MPs, who had been penalized for causing disturbances in the Lok Sabha. Despite reports of an agreement reached to curb further disruptions, government sources have confirmed that the reinstatement of these suspended MPs is off the table.
This no-confidence motion reflects the ongoing tensions between the opposition and the ruling government, particularly within the framework of the current budget session. The process of handling the notice against Speaker Birla could set a precedent for how parliamentary disruptions and opposition tactics are managed in the future.
