The second part of the Budget Session of Parliament is set to resume from Monday (March 9, 2026) and is expected to be stormy, with the first item on the agenda being the debate over the Motion of Removal admitted against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.

The resolution has been listed against Congress MPs Mohammad Jawed, K. Suresh and Mallu Ravi and has been signed by 118 Opposition members. Speaker Birla will not be presiding over the proceedings; instead, in the absence of a Deputy Speaker, the senior-most MP in the presiding officers committee, likely BJP MP Jagdambika Pal, may preside over the debate.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will make a statement in the Lok Sabha on Monday (March 9, 2026), after days of criticism from Opposition parties and several former Indian diplomats over the government’s “silence” on the conflict in West Asia. A notice for the statement, regarding “The Situation in West Asia”, was added to the list of business for the lower house of Parliament on Sunday evening (March 8). He is expected to make the statement shortly before the Lok Sabha takes up the Opposition’s resolution against Speaker Om Birla.
