Motion to remove Justice Yashwant Varma over graft charge to begin in Lok Sabha
Official sources said the opposition-sponsored notice for a similar motion in Rajya Sabha has not been admitted in the Upper House, paving the way for the Lower House to initiate the exercise.
Speaker Om Birla is expected to announce the three-member enquiry committee to probe the charge against the Allahabad High Court judge.
"We shouldn't remain in any doubt, proceedings to remove Justice Yashwant Varma will begin in the Lok Sabha," Rijiju said.
According to the Judges (Inquiry) Act, the proceedings will move to Rajya Sabha after they are over in Lok Sabha.
Over 150 MPs of the ruling alliance as well the Opposition had signed the notice in Lok Sabha.

Send leaders empowered to take decisions for all-party meetings: LS Speaker
New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday urged leaders of political parties to send representatives who are empowered to take decisions to meetings for finalising the agenda for Parliament. Birla's remarks came as the opposition members sought an assurance from the government on discussion on the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar after the conclusion of the debate on Operation Sindoor. The opposition members were in the Well of the House, raising slogans and seeking an assurance before the Lok Sabha took up the discussion on Operation Sindoor. Birla said that at the all-party meeting chaired by him last week, all leaders sought a discussion on Operation Sindoor, which was agreed to, and 16 hours were allocated for the same. 'There is something called commitment. Leaders of all parties had sought a discussion on Operation Sindoor and now you are in the Well of the House raising other issues," he said, addressing opposition members. 'You can't demand a discussion on any issue from the Well of the House. The House runs as per rules of procedure," Birla said. The Speaker told SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, who was on his feet demanding a discussion on SIR, to send a representative who is empowered to take decisions to the all-party meeting. 'If you are not empowered and if someone else has to take decisions, then such persons should not come to the all-party meetings," Birla said. The Lok Sabha was to take up a special discussion on 'India's strong, successful and decisive" Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam at 12 noon. However, when the House convened for the discussion, the opposition parties sought an assurance on the debate on SIR exercise in Bihar.

Shashi Tharoor May Keep 'Maunvrat' During Op Sindoor Debate. Rift With Cong or Strategic Silence?
Will Shashi Tharoor speak in Parliament during the Operation Sindoor, Pahalgam attack discussion? The Congress MP triggered more rumours by saying he will maintain 'maunvrat', or silence, in Parliament. As the Lok Sabha debates Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack, Tharoor, known for backing the Centre's muscular foreign policy, has chosen a vow of silence. Sources say the Congress high command reached out to him to speak, but he refused. Is it political defiance? Or a quiet protest against a party that's increasingly uncomfortable with his support for PM Modi's stand on Pakistan? Tharoor was earlier picked to lead an all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor and faced heat from within Congress ever since. His refusal to toe the party line, and praise for India's military, is adding to speculation about a growing rift.#shashitharoor #operationsindoor #maunvrat #congressrift #modiforeignpolicy #parliamentdebate #indiafirst #pahalgamattack #bjpvscongress #tharoorsilence #nationalsecurity #rahulgandhi #pmmodi #indianpolitics #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
