Resolution Against the Lok Sabha Speaker

A resolution has been moved against the current Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla.

Background: Parliamentary Sessions and Structure

The Indian Parliament conducts three sessions annually.

The three sessions are remembered with the mnemonic BMW:

• B: Budget Session

• M: Monsoon Session

• W: Winter Session

The Budget Session is currently in progress, with the budget presented on February 1st.

Parliamentary Leadership Structure

Rahul Gandhi is the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, a position established when an opposition party secures a significant number of seats.

Trigger for the Resolution

The resolution against Speaker Om Birla arose during a Lok Sabha discussion when he repeatedly prevented Rahul Gandhi from quoting from the book "Four Stars of Destiny". This book, authored by former Army Chief General M.M. Naravane, describes the state of the Indian Armed Forces. The book is yet to be officially published, pending approval.

Stated Reasons for the Resolution

The opposition brought this motion citing the Speaker's:

1. Failure to provide the Leader of the Opposition adequate speaking opportunities.

2. Prohibition on quoting the mentioned book.

3. Recent suspension of eight Members of Parliament (MPs).

The core accusation is that the Speaker failed to maintain neutrality and displayed bias against the opposition, despite being expected to remain neutral while typically elected from the majority party.

Constitutional Process for Speaker's Removal

The removal of a Speaker is governed by Article 94(c) of the Constitution, termed Removal, not Impeachment.

The procedure involves:

1. A 20-day prior notice to the Speaker.

2. Approval from at least 100 MPs to introduce the motion.

3. Passing the motion by a Special Majority (50% + 1 of the total membership).
   During consideration of a removal motion, the Speaker cannot preside over the House; the Deputy Speaker officiates.

Analysis: The motion's success is unlikely, given the ruling party (BJP) holds a significant majority of 293 seats, making the required special majority challenging to achieve. This is Om Birla's second term as Speaker, representing the Kota-Bundi constituency in Rajasthan.

Definition: Avalanche
