Constitutional Crisis: The Decisive Debate on Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker

A constitutional crisis looms as Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi articulated strong objections to the government's failure to elect a Deputy Speaker in Lok Sabha, which he claims has caused a constitutional vacuum.
Gogoi revealed concerns over the procedural impropriety of permitting a panel chairperson, nominated by the current Speaker, to oversee proceedings against him. This action, he stressed, undermines the neutrality safeguarded by Article 96 of the Constitution.
He advocated for justice to be both done and seen to be done in a constitutional democracy. Amid a rising debate and counterclaims from BJP leaders, the House continues to grapple with this critical issue, pressing for immediate resolution.
