Om Birla Says Fresh Motion Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar Will Follow Parliamentary Rules
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla stated that any fresh impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar will be examined according to parliamentary rules and procedures. The opposition has made two prior attempts to remove Kumar amid protests over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Removal of the CEC requires a parliamentary process similar to that for Supreme Court judges or voluntary resignation. The opposition continues to demand Kumar's resignation, while the government maintains adherence to due process.
