Overview
- The Lok Sabha list of business names the removal resolution as Monday’s main and only agenda item, to be moved by Congress MPs Mohamed Jawed, K. Suresh and Mallu Ravi.
- At least 118 opposition MPs signed the notice alleging partisan conduct; for admission, House rules require at least 50 members to stand when called.
- Both BJP and Congress have issued whips to ensure attendance, with BJP instructing MPs to be present March 9–10 and Congress March 9–11.
- Under Article 96 and House procedure, Birla will not preside but may sit among members, speak in his defense and cast a vote by slip rather than the automated system.
- Reports cite the NDA’s numerical edge making defeat of the motion likely, as some outlets say TMC now plans to support the resolution despite not signing the notice.
