Opposition Unites Against Speaker Om Birla

New Delhi: Sources indicate that the Trinamool Congress is poised to support a no-confidence motion aimed at Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. This development comes as Parliament prepares for the second phase of the Budget session, which is set to commence on Monday.

On the agenda for the Lok Sabha is a notice from the opposition, seeking to initiate a resolution for Birla's removal. The motion accuses him of exhibiting a clear bias in his role as Speaker.

A coalition of at least 118 opposition MPs has filed this notice, citing grievances over Birla's refusal to allow Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and other opposition figures to address the House during the Motion of Thanks to the President's address. Additionally, they are protesting the suspension of eight MPs during the initial phase of the Budget session.
