New Delhi | A group of opposition parties, on tuesday, submitted a formal notice to the Lok Sabha Secretariat seeking the removal of Speaker Om Birla from his post. The motion, which bears the signatures of 118 members, is expected to be taken up for discussion on March 9.

The opposition has leveled serious allegations against the Speaker, primarily focusing on the suppression of the Leader of the Opposition’s voice during the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address and the forced suspension of eight members. In response to these developments, sources indicate that Om Birla has decided on ethical grounds not to occupy the Speaker’s chair until the matter is resolved.

The Lok Sabha Secretariat has confirmed that proceedings will follow established rules. The notice was handed over to Secretary General Utpal Kumar Singh by a delegation including Congress Deputy Leader Gaurav Gogoi, Chief Whip K. Suresh, and MP Mohammad Javed, among others. While members from the Congress, SP, DMK, and RJD have signed the notice, notable absences include the signatures of Rahul Gandhi and members of the TMC.

Four Major Allegations by the Opposition:
* February 2: Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was allegedly prevented from completing his speech during the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address.
* February 3: Eight MPs were suspended for the remainder of the session, a move the opposition describes as punishment for exercising democratic rights.
* Nishikant Dubey Case: The notice mentions objectionable remarks made against former Prime Ministers without naming Nishikant Dubey.
* Misuse of Office: The opposition rejected the Speaker’s claim that Congress members intended to cause an “untoward incident” near the Prime Minister’s seat, calling such accusations a blatant misuse of a constitutional position.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Saturday targeted the central government over the current status of coronavirus and said that the age limit for vaccination should be reduced to 25 years and youth suffering from asthma, diabetes and some other diseases.


  To be vaccinated on priority basis.  He also said in a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) that the government should exempt GST from medical devices and medicines needed to deal with corona, and take strict measures to curb the spread of corona virus infection.  The help of six thousand rupees should be provided.


 He said that it is a matter of great concern that GST of 12 per cent has been imposed on basic needs like life saving medicines like Remedisvir and Medical Oxygen, even the rate of GST on oximeters and ventilators is 20 per cent.  


Sonia Gandhi said, “During the conversation with me, our Chief Ministers believed that the things used in the treatment and prevention of virus infection should be exempted from the purview of GST.” 

 Expressing grief over the large number of people being hit by Corona virus infection and the death of hundreds of people daily, the Congress salutes the health workers and other employees who are doing their duty in the hour of this crisis.
 He referred to a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that there is a shortage of vaccines, oxygen and ventilators in many places, but the government is silent.  

The Congress president said, “The government should reconsider its priority for vaccination and reduce the age limit to 25 years.  All the youth suffering from asthma, diabetes, kidney and liver diseases should be vaccinated. ”It is noteworthy that the minimum age limit for vaccination is 45 years.
