RLM Chief Kushwaha Backs Speaker Birla on CEC Removal Notice Rejection
•RLM national president Upendra Kushwaha supported Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's rejection of the opposition's notice to remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
•Kushwaha termed the opposition's move "irrelevant" and lacking any factual basis, stating they raise issues without substance.
•Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan rejected the impeachment motion notice submitted by opposition members.
•The notice, signed by 130 Lok Sabha and 63 Rajya Sabha members, sought Gyanesh Kumar's removal under constitutional provisions.
•Both Speakers refused to admit the motion after careful consideration, citing powers under Section 3 of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.
