Parliament Budget Session 2.0 LIVE Updates: No-Trust Motion Against Speaker Om Birla; Jaishankar To Brief On Iran War

Published by Webster

The second half of the Budget session of Parliament resumes today and is expected to begin on a stormy note. The Lok Sabha is set to take up an opposition-backed motion seeking the removal of Speaker Om Birla, while the escalating conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States is also likely to dominate proceedings. The Budget session will continue until April 2. What’s on agenda? No-trust motion against Om Birla: A motion against Om Birla, signed by 118 Opposition MPs, accuses him of acting in a “blatantly partisan” manner while conducting proceedings in the House. Following the notice, Birla recused himself from presiding over the Lok Sabha and is expected to return to the chair only after the matter is decided. Despite the political heat, the ruling National Democratic Alliance holds a comfortable majority, making it unlikely that the motion will succeed. PM Narendra Modi has publicly backed Birla, saying the Speaker has upheld the principles of the Constitution and parliamentary democracy.

Parliament debate wasn’t about waqf – it showed a government with a trust deficit

Parliament debate wasn’t about waqf – it showed a government with a trust deficit

Published by Parlour News

Apr 4, 2025 07:16 IST First published on: Apr 4, 2025 at 07:16 IST Share Parliament has discussed the Waqf Amendment Bill. In the House of the People, the debate ran well past midnight, 288 MPs voted in favour, 232 against. Those, there, are the bare facts. But rewind to the debates in both Houses, listen in, and an impression is inescapable: The deliberation in Parliament was not, really, about amending the 1995 Act regarding the administration, management and regulation of waqf properties across the country. It was also much wider than the shorthand summary of each side of the debate makes it out to be. Curbing corruption, reforming by improving efficiency, transparency and accountability, on the government’s side. Discriminating between Muslims and other religions, dividing and marginalising Muslims, undermining constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms of minorities, according to the mostly united Opposition. Even as elements in the bill promote transparency, specific provisions raise questions — be it the inclusion of non-Muslims in the state Waqf Boards and the Central Waqf Council, or the expansion …
