Amit Shah Hits Back at Rahul Gandhi Over Speaker's Conduct
A heated Lok Sabha clash over Speaker Om Birla's conduct sees Amit Shah counter Rahul Gandhi as the BJP defends decorum and questions the opposition's impeachment bid.
Parliamentary tempers flared as the opposition pressed ahead with a bid to impeach Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, arguing his conduct favours the ruling party. The BJP charged Rahul Gandhi and other Opposition leaders with disrespecting the Speaker and the House, signaling a broader fight over the function and decorum of Parliament.
Amit Shah pressed the counterpoints, arguing that questioning the Speaker's conduct is tantamount to questioning democracy itself. 'This Lok Sabha is the biggest panchayat of democracy,' he asserted, framing the proceedings as a test of the people's mandate.
Shah also aimed a swipe at the opposition, saying 'Shashi Tharoor should counsel them' on parliamentary etiquette, as the Opposition contended that the Leader of the Opposition was being prevented from speaking.
Throughout the debate, the focus remained on the balance between decorum and dissent, with both sides accusing the other of undermining democratic norms. As the session continues, observers say the confrontation could set the tone for how Parliament handles protests against the Speaker's role.
While the opposition asserts that the attempt is about accountability, the government argues the impeachment move tests the stability of parliamentary institutions.
