New Delhi: Flaws have been identified in the no-confidence motion notice submitted by opposition MPs seeking to remove Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Lok Sabha sources told PTI on Wednesday.

The notice reportedly mentioned the events of February 2025 four times, which, under the rules, could have led to rejection.

However, the Speaker has directed the Lok Sabha Secretariat to have the deficiencies in the notice rectified and proceed with further action, sources said.

Birla has ordered expeditious action in accordance with the rules. The notice will be listed after the commencement of the second phase of the Budget Session.

After receiving the revised notice, it will be examined promptly as per the prescribed rules.

Meanwhile, discussion on the motion is expected to take place on March 9, the first day of the second part of the Budget Session.

The Congress submitted the notice of no-confidence against Speaker Birla on Tuesday. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said, "At 1:14 pm today, we submitted a motion for a no-confidence motion against the Speaker under rule 94C rules and procedures."

A total of 118 MPs have signed the notice. Opposition MPs cited “blatantly partisan” conduct by the Speaker and alleged that leaders of opposition parties were not allowed to speak.

According to sources cited by ANI, the notice highlighted four key incidents, including the allegation that Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi was not permitted to speak during the discussion on the motion of Thanks to the President’s Address. Gandhi had referenced General MM Naravane’s unpublished memoir to discuss the 2020 standoff with China.

Sources said the notice also flagged the suspension of eight MPs, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s “objectionable and personalised attacks” against former Prime Ministers, and Speaker Birla’s statement that he had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to attend the House to prevent any unpleasant incident. Birla had said some Congress MPs could come to the PM’s seat and “resort to an unprecedented incident.”

Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress advised Congress to submit an appeal to Speaker Birla before moving a no-confidence motion, Abhishek Banerjee said on Tuesday. The TMC stated it will sign the motion if the Speaker does not respond to the Opposition’s appeal within two to three days.
