Live! 2G: BJP to move no-confidence motion against Speaker tomorrow

December 10, 2013 18:40

BJP and DMK MPs are planing a no-confidence motion against Speaker Meira Kumar for her inept handling of 2G JPC report, which they say is full of inconsistencies and does not reflect the true extent of the scam nor does it point to the role of the Prime Minister and Finance Minister in the scam.

Union Ministers have planned to submit resignations to Sonia Gandhi on Thursday as they say the mandate is against the Congress.

Six Congress MPs from Andhra Pradesh have moved a no confidence motion which got support from TDP and YSR Congress MPs.

Tomorrow, the BJP and the DMK plan to give the Speaker's Office a one-line resolution that the House expresses its no confidence in the Presiding Officer in her handling of the JPC report on 2G.

The moment it is admitted, Meira Kumar cannot stay put in the Chair. The Deputy Speaker Karia Munda will preside over the Lok Sabha when the house will discuss it.
