TMC Shifts Position, Announces Support for Birla No-Confidence Vote.webp

New Delhi, March 7 The Trinamool Congress would support the no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, which is scheduled to be taken up when the Budget session of Parliament resumes on Monday, party leaders said.

A senior TMC leader said the party was "always in support" of the no-trust motion sought by several opposition members of the Lok Sabha.

At least 118 opposition MPs have submitted a notice to move a resolution to remove Om Birla as the speaker of the Lower House for allegedly acting in a "blatantly partisan" manner. TMC MPs had previously not signed the notice.

"We were always in support of the no-confidence motion. We didn't want it to be rushed, and that's why in the last half of the Budget session, we said submit it after three days," the TMC leader told
