OM Birla Directs to Fix Errors in Notice to Remove Speaker

"Flaws" have been found in the notice submitted by opposition MPs to remove the Lok Sabha speaker from office, with Om Birla directing the secretariat to amend the "defective" notice to prevent it from being rejected, Lok Sabha sources said on Wednesday. 

As many as 118 opposition MPs had signed the notice submitted to Lok Sabha secretary general Utpal Kumar Singh on



Tuesday afternoon. Later in the day, the opposition withdrew the notice and replaced it with another one correcting the date.

Lok Sabha sources sad four instances of wrong date being mentioned were found, which could have led to the notice being dismissed under the rules. However, Birla directed the Lok Sabha secretariat to get the defective notice amended and take action on it.
