A fresh political confrontation unfolded in Lok Sabha on Tuesday after opposition parties moved a no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla, triggering a sharp exchange between the government and opposition benches.
The motion has brought attention to the long-pending issue of appointing a Deputy Speaker, with opposition leaders arguing that the continued vacancy has created a constitutional imbalance in the functioning of the lower house of Parliament.
Opposition Raises ‘Constitutional Vacuum’ Concern
K. C. Venugopal, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, said the government had failed to appoint a Deputy Speaker for several years, which he claimed had resulted in a constitutional vacuum in the House.
He argued that the absence of a Deputy Speaker undermines parliamentary conventions and called for the immediate election of a presiding officer to oversee the proceedings during the debate on the resolution. Leaders from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party strongly pushed back against the opposition’s claims.
