Opposition Files No-Confidence Motion Against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla

• Opposition parties, led by Congress, submitted a no-confidence motion to remove Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla amidst ongoing parliamentary deadlock.
• The motion, signed by MPs from DMK, Left, Samajwadi Party, and RJD, alleges the Speaker acts on government instructions and restricts opposition voices.
• Trinamool Congress distanced itself from the initiative, citing differences in parliamentary strategy and suggesting Congress should have appealed to the Speaker first.
• The no-confidence motion also cites the suspension of eight opposition MPs and inaction against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for comments on former PMs.
• The Speaker had previously stated he had information about potential incidents involving Congress MPs and the Prime Minister, which Congress denied.
