A motion seeking the removal of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, with members of the opposition alleging impartiality. TMC MP Mahua Moitra asked the Speaker to “go, in the name of God,” stating Birla was “no longer fit to conduct the affairs of the House.”
Allegations Against the Speaker
Congress MP Dr Mohammad Jawed moved the resolution in the Lok Sabha, alleging that the Chair has failed to maintain the impartiality required to command the confidence of all sections of the House. The motion accuses the Speaker of disallowing the Leader of the Opposition and other Opposition leaders from speaking, making unwarranted allegations against women MPs from the Opposition, and suspending Opposition members for an entire session for raising issues of public concern.
The resolution also alleges that the Speaker did not rebuke ruling party members for making objectionable and derogatory remarks against former Prime Ministers.
Other Parliamentary Business
Question hour began in the Rajya Sabha, with Union Health Minister JP Nadda responding to questions raised by members regarding Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) and issues related to their role and functioning in the public health system.
Statements and reports from the Public Accounts Committee, the Standing Committee on Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, the Standing Committee on Railways, and the Standing Committee on Housing and Urban Affairs were also tabled.
