‘Hope Speaker gives us justice’: Abhishek Banerjee files disqualification pleas against rebel MPs

Expressing hope that Lok Sabha Om Birla​​​​​​ would “act in accordance with the Constitution,” Banerjee said: “The Lok Sabha Speaker is the custodian of the House, not the protector of the government of the day. Every citizen, especially elected representatives, must work within the ambit of the law. Therefore, one has to function according to the provisions laid down in the Constitution.”
