The opposition is considering giving a notice for moving a resolution to remove Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla from office for disallowing Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders from speaking in the House on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address, as well as for the suspension of eight MPs. Both Houses are set to continue discussion on the Union Budget today (February 10, 2026).
Meanwhile, BJP’s women MPs have urged Mr. Birla to take the strongest possible action against the opposition MPs who have committed “heinous acts” like moving deep inside treasury benches, climbing the table and laying a siege of the seat of the Prime Minister.
Yesterday (February 9, 2026), Mr. Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, and some others met Mr. Birla to work out a solution to end the stalemate, as the House has not been functioning properly ever since the former Congress chief was not allowed to speak on the India-China issue last week.
