The 10th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) India Region Conference concluded on Tuesday with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla expressing concern over commotion and acrimony in legislatures and asking presiding officers to ensure that they remain centres of dignified discussions.
The Congress leader asserted that the question is not how efficiently the House is run but how much of India's voice is being allowed to be heard in this House.
The Opposition had proposed the name of Mr K Suresh of the Congress Party, but Mr Birla was declared elected by a voice vote.
"The government compelled the INDIA Alliance to contest the election. We don't want to contest the election against the Speaker, but when the government approached INDIA Alliance, especially the Congress party leadership, we asked about the Deputy Speaker post.
For the first time in decades, an election for the Lok Sabha Speaker’s post will take place on Wednesday due to the inability of the BJP's ruling NDA government and the Congress-led INDIA opposition to reach to a consensus.
So far, there has been a tradition to elect the Lok Sabha Speaker through consensus between the ruling party and the Opposition.
