The Congress is set to move a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. A formal notice for the motion will be submitted shortly to the Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha.
Congress MPs Kodikkunnil Suresh and Mohammad Javed are expected to submit a notice for a no-confidence motion against the Lok Sabha Speaker to Lok Sabha Secretary General Utpal Kumar Singh, according to IANS.
The motion has been signed by over 100 MPs from various opposition parties; however, Trinamool Congress has held back from being a signatory. The Mamata Banerjee-led party has demanded the revocation of the suspension of MPs. "Give some time to Speaker, if there is no step, then a no-confidence can be considered says TMC leader," said a TMC leader. "If Congress wants to go ahead, let them do," the party said.
