Due to various allegations, including election irregularities and the SIR issue, the opposition parties and the Cockroach Janata Party launched a series of protests demanding that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar be removed from office. However, no appropriate action has been taken so far by the government side.
As a result, reports have emerged that the opposition parties may once again take up a new round of protest action. In this context, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who met reporters yesterday, said, ``If I receive a formal notice from the opposition seeking the removal of the Election Commissioner, I will take an appropriate decision in accordance with parliamentary rules and procedures.
Earlier, the notices submitted by the opposition parties were rejected. This is because, under the Constitution, those notices did not meet the high standards required for impeachment proceedings. The procedure for removing the Chief Election Commissioner from office is the same as the procedure for removing a Supreme Court judge from office.
Questions about the politics surrounding this protest, which criticizes the Election Commission and the government, should be directed to the political parties themselves. Protests by opposition parties and social activist organizations underscore the democratic strength of India. Democracy is deeply embedded in the very structure of our country.
Whatever happens in the world has an impact in India. Our effort will be to ensure that the whole world benefits from our system of dialogue and freedom of speech.
Congress has been criticizing the government for not taking steps to bring the Parliament’s monsoon session, which was adjourned indefinitely on August 13, to a close. Article 85 of the Constitution fully covers this issue. In the past as well, there have been instances where Parliament sessions were not brought to an end for a long period. In this, the Speaker has no bias,” he noted.
But from the Congress side, it is alleged that “by not bringing the parliamentary session to an end, the government can reconvene Parliament at short notice. The NDA alliance is trying to muster a two-thirds majority to reintroduce the constitutional amendment bill needed to implement reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies from 2029, and to increase the strength of the lower house by about 50% through delimitation. This decision has been taken deliberately for that very purpose,” it is alleged.
