News India Live, Digital Desk: Today was a very hectic day in the budget session of Parliament. As soon as the Lok Sabha proceedings began, the opposition presented a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, due to which a huge uproar started in the House. Due to noise and sloganeering by opposition MPs, the proceedings of the House had to be adjourned several times. This is not the first time that such a dispute has been seen over an important post in the House, but such a conflict during the budget session clearly shows the growing distance between the government and the opposition.
Reason for opposition’s displeasure and no-confidence motion
Opposition parties, especially India Alliance, allege that impartiality is not being maintained in the functioning of the House. Many big leaders including Rahul Gandhi say that the opposition’s issues are being suppressed and they are not getting enough time to speak. Due to this resentment, today the opposition MPs opened a front against Om Birla.
Amit Shah’s counterattack and government’s side
Union Home Minister Amit Shah took a strong stance on the opposition’s uproar. He said that the opposition is destroying the decorum of the House and adopting such tactics to run away from the important budget discussion. Amit Shah clarified in the House that the government is ready to discuss any issue, but there will be no compromise with the honor of the Speaker.
What happened in the house? (major developments)
Boycott of proceedings: Seeing the increasing uproar, opposition MPs threatened to walkout from the House.
Delay in discussion on budget: Due to the no-confidence motion, important legislative work and discussions of the budget session are being delayed, due to which public issues are not being discussed.
Sharp attitude of Rahul Gandhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while cornering the government on the issue of unemployment, inflation and farmers, said that it is our democratic right to raise voice in the House.
Now what next?
The process of no-confidence motion against the Speaker of the Lok Sabha is complex. To pass it, the opposition will need a huge majority, which currently seems difficult according to the statistics. However, this step has decided that the conflict in Parliament is going to increase even more in the coming days. The eyes of the country are now fixed on the proceedings of the next few hours to see whether a middle path is found between the government and the opposition or whether the uproar continues like this.
