DR. MALLU RAVI to ask for leave of the House to move the following
Resolution:
“That this House, having taken into consideration the conduct of the
Speaker of the House as regards disallowing the Leader of the
Opposition and other Opposition leaders to speak, making
unwarranted allegations against women MPs belonging to the
Opposition, suspending Opposition MPs for an entire session for raising
issues of public concern and not rebuking ruling party members for
making wholly objectionable and derogatory remarks against former
PMs, feels he has ceased to maintain an impartial attitude necessary
to command the confidence of all sections of the House; that in his
partisan attitude he disregards the rights of Members of the House
and makes pronouncements and gives rulings calculated to affect and
undermine such rights; that he openly espouses the version of the
ruling party on all controversial matters, that all these acts constitute
a serious danger to the proper functioning of this House and
ventilating effectively the felt concerns and grievances of the people,
and therefore resolves that he be removed from his Office.”
