Om Birla Allows Opposition to Rectify No-Confidence Notice Against Him

• Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla permitted the Opposition to correct drafting errors in their no-confidence notice against him, instead of outright rejection.
• The notice, signed by 118 Opposition MPs, contained references to events of February 2025 in four places, which could have led to its rejection.
• Birla directed officials to inform the Opposition about the errors, allowing for rectification and early listing of the notice.
• The Opposition subsequently withdrew the original notice and submitted a revised version with the corrected date.
• Opposition parties accuse Birla of "blatantly partisan" conduct, citing denial of speaking opportunities to Rahul Gandhi and other leaders, suspension of MPs, and objections to remarks by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey.
