Speaker Om Birla asks LS secretary general to examine opposition notice for moving resolution seeking his removal

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday directed House Secretary General Utpal Kumar Singh to examine a notice served by the opposition for moving a resolution to remove him from office, PTI reported quoting sources.

A total of 119 opposition MPs submitted the notice for moving the resolution to remove Birla from office for not allowing Leader of Opposition (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 MPs.

Birla has asked Singh to examine the notice and take appropriate action. It will also be processed according to the rules.

The notice was submitted by Congress MP K Suresh on behalf of several opposition parties, including Samajwadi Party and DMK. However, TMC MPs refrained from signing the notice.
