Indian Congress No-Confidence Motion Against Om Birla

The India — Indian National Congress is set to submit a no-confidence motion against India — Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, citing dissatisfaction with his handling of parliamentary proceedings. This move follows days of adjournments and ruckus in the India — Lok Sabha, primarily stemming from allegations that Rahul Gandhi was not allowed to speak during a discussion on the President's Address. Rahul Gandhi had attempted to cite an 'unpublished memoir' by General M. M. Naravane regarding a 2020 standoff with China, which Om Birla ruled against. Rahul Gandhi later accused Bertelsmann — Penguin Random House of lying about the book's publication status, a claim disputed by India — Bharatiya Janata Party MP Nishikant Dubey, who called for action against Rahul Gandhi. The motion has the support of the India — Samajwadi Party and the India — Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, but the India — Trinamool Congress has decided not to join. Although the India — Indian National Congress lacks the numbers to pass the motion, it is expected to significantly disrupt parliamentary proceedings.
