Opposition moves no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla

New Delhi: Opposition parties on Tuesday filed a notice of no-confidence against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, intensifying their confrontation with the government over the implementation of parliamentary procedures. Sources said the notice has been signed by more than 100 MPs. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said that today at 1.14 pm, a notice of no-confidence motion was filed against the Speaker of the Lok Sabha under Rule 94C of the Rules and Procedures.Under Article 94(c) of the Constitution, the Speaker can be removed by a resolution passed by the Lok Sabha after a mandatory notice period of 14 days. This follows days of deliberations by India bloc leaders amid repeated disruptions in the House of Representatives.Opposition parties have raised a series of grievances, including refusal to allow opposition leader Rahul Gandhi to speak, suspension of opposition members and alleged inaction over remarks by BJP MP Nisikant Dubey. The leader also rejected suggestions that female MPs posed a threat to the prime minister.On Monday, senior Congress leader KC Venugopal said action was imminent and criticized the functioning of the Lok Sabha. “Under parliamentary rules, the leader of the opposition is the shadow prime minister. But here, Labor is not allowed to speak in the House. The government can say anything and attack anyone,” he said. Venugopal also accused the Speaker of bias. “The Speaker himself is raising charges against congresswomen but there is simply no space for the opposition in the House and they are not even allowed… This attitude towards the opposition has never happened before… Action is awaited,” he said. Referring to trade discussions with Washington, he added, “The US-India trade deal is somewhat shocking and the leader of the opposition wanted to mention something about the deal to the Speaker, but that was also not allowed. The government wants to keep parliament for itself. “The opposition’s move was discussed at a meeting attended by India Bloc leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Haq, with some parties initially suggesting submitting a formal letter of complaint to the Speaker before taking the extreme step. Sources said another meeting was held on Tuesday morning to finalize the timing. However, the government played down the development. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the opposition lacked the numbers to support the resolution. The no-confidence motion comes amid a long-standing deadlock in the Lok Sabha, with opposition members protesting against their refusal to speak during key debates, including a motion to thank the president for his speech, leading to multiple prorogations of parliament.

What happened in the Lok Sabha on February 4? Kiren Rijiju posts video of chaos | India News

2 月 4 日在人民院发生了什么？ Kiren Rijiju 发布了混乱的视频

A look at the video shared by Kiren Rijiju

New Delhi: Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kieron Rijiju A video of the February 4 Lok Sabha proceedings was released on Tuesday, alleging that Congress MPs created a situation to force the Prime Minister to Narendra Modi skipping his scheduled responses to the president’s remarks.Rijiju shared the video on “Congress is proud of the most degrading behavior of its MPs! If we had not stopped all the BJP MPs and allowed women MPs to confront Congress MPs, it would have resulted in very ugly scenes,” Rijiju wrote on X.

He also claimed that the BJP MPs must be restrained to avoid confrontation in the House.“We have to control our BJP NDA MPs. The BJP women MPs were very angry at such behavior by the Congress MPs. We stopped our MPs from getting into a physical altercation. The MPs then went to the Speaker’s chamber to threaten the Speaker. The BJP women MPs have lodged a complaint. Let us see how the Speaker takes action and what steps he will take,” Rijiju said.The minister also retweeted another video shared by the Congress, which showed Speaker Om Birla saying that he had asked the Prime Minister not to attend the House after receiving suggestions that some opposition MPs might approach his seat and cause an “unprecedented incident”.“We attach great importance to protecting the dignity and sanctity of Parliament,” Rigiju added.The controversy dates back to February 4, when Prime Minister Modi was scheduled to reply to the motion of thanks for the President’s speech. However, the speech was canceled after Speaker Bella said he had received “concrete information” that some MPs might try to disrupt the proceedings.On Monday, the congresswomen wrote to Birla, strongly rejecting what they called “serious allegations” that they threatened or tried to obstruct the prime minister in the House of Representatives.Congress leaders denied the claims, saying the Prime Minister was avoiding the House because he was “too scared to speak”.The issue escalated further on Tuesday when a women BJP MP wrote to the Speaker supporting Birla and accusing opposition members of unruly behavior. In the letter, the BJP MP claimed that Congress women MPs entered the House, threw documents at the Chairman and then surrounded the Prime Minister’s seat.They urged Bella to take the “strongest possible action” against those involved.The BJP’s letter was a rebuttal to a letter from Congress members who accused the Speaker of making “false, baseless and defamatory” claims under pressure from the ruling party.Meanwhile, the opposition leader is planning to file a notice seeking a solution to remove the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Nothing Phone 4a series: Color options (teaser)

Although Nothing has yet to reveal full details about the new phone, the company has already started teasing the launch by highlighting new color options. Nothing posted an image on its official X account showing the symbol “(a)” in five colors: blue, yellow, pink, white and black. The post has a short caption that reads “soon,” which signals the start of a promotion for the Phone 4a series.

The teaser suggests that the upcoming phone will be available in multiple color options. It’s unclear whether the image also indicates the launch of Nothing Headphones (a). Earlier reports claimed that the earphones will be available in white, black, pink, and yellow color options. If the report is true, the blue shade shown in the teaser may still be exclusive to the Phone 4a models, which may help differentiate these devices from the audio product line.

From February 2, he tried to quote excerpts from the book in the Lok Sabha but was blocked on the grounds that the book had not been officially published.
