Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla Urges MPs to Maintain Dignity Amid Placard Protests

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has expressed deep concern over the display of banners, placards, and the conduct of some members inside the Parliament and its complex, stating these actions undermine the dignity and prestige of India's parliamentary democracy. In a letter to leaders of all political parties, Birla urged reflection and collective responsibility to uphold high standards of behaviour. The letter follows a recent no-confidence motion against him, which opposition parties linked to alleged bias and limited speaking opportunities.
