Opposition’s No-Confidence Motion Against LoK Sabha Speaker Om Birla Defeated by Voice Vote
- On Wednesday, the Lok Sabha rejected a resolution seeking to remove Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla by voice vote, concluding a contentious parliamentary session.
- Opposition MPs initiated the no-confidence motion with 118 signatures, alleging the Speaker displayed "partisan behaviour," marking the first such attempt in nearly forty years.
- Defending the Speaker, Union Home Minister Amit Shah argued the House "will be run by its own rules and not by the rules of a party," while criticizing LoP Rahul Gandhi's attendance record.
- Amid protests from Opposition members demanding an apology from Shah for his remarks on Gandhi, presiding officer Jagdambika Pal oversaw the voice vote which dismissed the resolution.
- Birla is expected to resume his duties on Thursday, with the ruling party framing the dismissal as a defense of the Speaker's role as a neutral custodian of the House.
