NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday claimed that there “is no space for opposition” in the Lok Sabha and responded to reports that the opposition may move a motion of no confidence against Speaker Om Birla, saying “wait for action”.
Congress MP K C Venugopal alleged that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leader are not being allowed to air their views in the Lower House, while the government side can state whatever they want and even make “derogatory remarks” against the opposition member.
Asked about reports that Opposition may move motion of no confidence against speaker Birla, Venugopal said, “You see what is happening in Parliament. You can see in this session, the Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, is not being allowed to speak anything in this House.”
