Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has decided, on moral grounds, that he will not participate in the proceedings of the House until the no-confidence motion notice submitted by the opposition against him is resolved. Yesterday, the opposition submitted a notice of a no-confidence motion against Mr. Birla. The opposition has submitted the notice to the Secretary General of the Lok Sabha. Sources in the Lok Sabha Secretariat said that the notice will be examined and processed according to the rules. 118 members of opposition parties, including the Congress, DMK, Samajwadi Party, RJD, and Left parties, have signed the notice submitted to the Secretary General. However, TMC MPs did not sign the notice.
