New Delhi: Lok Sabha will debate on the No-confidence Motion against Speaker Om Birla on Monday in the Budget Session. According to Monday’s agenda, the resolution against the Speaker is the sole item listed in the Lok Sabha’s business for the day.

As per the Government it is likely to allocate around three hours to the discussion on the motion, with three members from the Treasury and Opposition Benches expected to participate. From Congress, either Lok Sabha Dy. leader Gaurav Gogoi or K. C. Venugopal is likely to take part in the debate.

Other Opposition parties are also expected to raise concerns over the functioning of the Chair and broader issues relating to parliamentary procedures. While both the Congress and the BJP have issued whips directing their members to be present in the House. The BJP-led NDA holds a clear numerical advantage to defeat the resolution in the 543-member Lok Sabha.

As many as 118 Opposition members had submitted the notice to move a resolution to remove Birla from office for not allowing LoP Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders to speak in the House on the motion of thanks to the president’s address, as well as for suspending eight opposition MPs.

It will be a rare moment when Birla does not chair the proceedings and instead sit among the members as the House takes up the notice seeking his removal.

Congress leaders Gogoi, chief whip K Suresh and whip Mohammed Javed submitted the notice to the Lok Sabha Secretariat on behalf of several opposition parties, including the SP and the DMK.
