Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has set a heartfelt example as he fulfilled his promise made years ago and participated in the wedding rituals of Late CRPF jawan Hemraj Meena and Veerangana Madhubala in Sangod/Kota on Friday.
Addressing the Indian students at Samarkand Medical University in Uzbekistan, the Lok Sabha Speaker elaborated that the rapid growth in medical research and education in India has created numerous opportunities for the students to work in academic and research institutions.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Sunday said India’s parliamentary committees function as mini parliaments as these committees review policies and programs related to social security, social justice, economic empowerment, and public welfare and provide suggestions for their better execution.
A major ruckus ensued in the Lok Sabha as Samajwadi Party leaders raised slogans and placards, forcing Speaker Om Birla to adjourn the House till 2 pm.
The delegation included Congress Deputy Leader of the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi, Samajwadi Party's Dharmendra Yadav, DMK's A Raja, TMC’s Kalyan Banerjee, and NCP’s Supriya Sule.
So far, there has been a tradition to elect the Lok Sabha Speaker through consensus between the ruling party and the Opposition.
Other than the oath text, he said, invocations made by the members had been blurred and were not going on record.
The NDA coalition has named Kota MP and former Speaker Om Birla as its candidate for the Speaker's post, while the Opposition has fielded senior MP K Suresh.
He also slammed Prime Minister Modi for seeking cooperation from the Opposition when their leaders are "disrespected".
The Opposition has agreed to support Om Birla for Speaker but they have demanded Deputy Speaker's post in return.
