Tension between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Congress-led Opposition has continued in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing Budget Session. Since the presentation of the Budget on February 1, the Lower House has been unable to function smoothly. Amid this escalating standoff, Opposition parties have submitted a notice to the Lok Sabha Secretary General seeking the removal of Speaker Om Birla from his post. Sources have now revealed that Om Birla has decided not to attend Lok Sabha proceedings until a decision is taken on the notice.
