Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday during the debate on the motion seeking the removal of Speaker Om Birla. The Opposition accuses the Speaker of favouring the ruling party in parliamentary proceedings. Responding to the motion, Shah came down heavily on the move and defended the Speaker’s role, arguing that the position is above party politics and essential for maintaining the dignity of Parliament. During his address in the House, Shah said bringing such a motion reflects poorly on parliamentary traditions and undermines the credibility of the institution.
