No Confidence Motion Against Om Birla to Be Debated
Kiren Rijiju said the rules require that such a discussion be held on the first day of the session. Therefore, the debate on the no confidence motion against Om Birla has been scheduled for March 9. The voting will also take place on the same day.
The opposition accused Om Birla of being clearly biased against them. As a result, they submitted a no confidence notice seeking his removal as Lok Sabha Speaker. The development made the discussion unavoidable. Hence, the government placed the motion for debate at the start of the session.

The debate on the no confidence motion against Om Birla will begin the proceedings. Later, the House will take up other listed business during the session.

position has formally raised its objections, and the government has responded as per procedure. Therefore, March 9 is expected to witness detailed discussions on the conduct of the Lok Sabha Speaker.
The motion and the scheduled debate come amid sharp exchanges between the treasury benches and the opposition. However, the rules mandate that such a notice be taken up at the earliest opportunity. Accordingly, the first day of the second Budget Session will see both debate and voting on the no confidence motion against Om Birla.
