New Delhi, March 7 (NationPress) As the Budget Session of Parliament's second half resumes on Monday, the Lok Sabha is poised to address a no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla. BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal has asserted that this motion will ultimately be unsuccessful, claiming it lacks both logical justification and sufficient support within the House.

In an interview with IANS on Saturday, Khandelwal stated, "As per parliamentary rules, this proposal must receive permission from the presiding officer before it can be debated in the House. However, it is evident that this motion will fail spectacularly, and the Indian National Congress along with other opposition parties will come to terms with their actual standing, as the proposal is devoid of merit and rationale."

In response to the situation, Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, National Spokesperson for JD(U), acknowledged that such proposals are elements of parliamentary democracy but emphasized the need for order in the House.

"The reality is that anarchy cannot be accepted. It is Om Birla's ethical duty as the Speaker of the Lok Sabha to maintain the integrity of Parliament. Those who are unhappy may present these proposals, but given the current numbers, it is evident that the motion will be entirely dismissed," Prasad remarked.

Meanwhile, Independent MP Pappu Yadav from Purnia highlighted the significance of the Speaker's role in the parliamentary system, expressing hope that the position would continue to be respected.

"In our parliamentary structure, the role of the Speaker is crucial and democratic... Presently, our Speaker is commendable, and I hope that his representation will be that of the entire 1.45 billion people of India, and may there never be a need for such a situation," he said.

This no-confidence motion has been introduced by three Congress MPs — Md Jawed, Kodikunnil Suresh, and Mallu Ravi. The resolution claims that the Speaker has acted in a biased manner and has not upheld the necessary impartiality associated with the position.

The motion articulates: "This House, having considered the Speaker's conduct regarding the disallowance of the Leader of the Opposition and other opposition leaders from speaking, unfounded accusations against women MPs from the opposition, and the suspension of opposition MPs for an entire session for raising public issues, concludes that he has failed to maintain the impartial demeanor essential to earn the trust of all House members; that in his biased approach, he disregards the rights of House Members and makes decisions and rulings intended to undermine those rights; that he consistently supports the ruling party’s views on all contentious matters."

The discussion surrounding this motion is anticipated to be a significant highlight as the Lok Sabha resumes its activities during the second half of the Budget Session.
