Sources claim that Congress and other opposition parties are considering submitting a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla the following week because they aren’t permitted to speak.
The proposal was discussed at a meeting of Congress MPs, according to the sources.
The catalyst for the progress was the notice disqualifying Rahul Gandhi, which came a day after his conviction in a defamation case, as well as claims that the Opposition was not being allowed to raise the Adani issue.
A no-confidence motion against the speaker, however, requires the support of at least 50 members.
It is crucial to remember that the House must be in session for a motion of no confidence to be proposed.
