He further said after nearly four decades, a no-confidence motion brought against the Speaker. He also emphasized that the Speaker represents the House, not any political party.
He said that the BJP and NDA have never filed a no-confidence motion against the Speaker. It is because they believe the Speaker’s integrity is unquestionable.

The Minister explained that the proceedings of the House rely on mutual trust and established rules.
