In a major development, Opposition parties may bring a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday.

Notably, the development came amid the chaos that erupted following the disqualification of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the post of Member of Parliament. However, this was not clear what lead Congress to bring such an action against the Parliament speaker.
Congress complains
Recently, during the Parliament session, Congress on multiple occasions complained that their microphones in the House were being muted in order to silence the demands of the Opposition.
Earlier on March 17, the Congress shared a video clip on Twitter, wherein the audio in Lok Sabha appeared to have gone silent during the Opposition's protests.
