The Opposition and Treasury benches took each other head on in the Lok Sabha during the discussion on Wednesday (March 11, 2026). While the ruling side asserted that the motion had been moved to satisfy the “the ego of one person”, Opposition MPs maintained that they had nothing personal against the Speaker and he was being forced to act according to the wishes of the government. Congress MP K.C. Venugopal claimed that the Speaker had repeatedly barred Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi from speaking in the House whenever he stood up, though, according to convention, the LoP is always allowed to speak.
