Congress MP Tiwari Criticizes Appointment of BJP's Mahtab as Pro-tem Speaker

By A Staff Reporter- Following the appointment of BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab as pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari raised concerns over the decision. Tiwari questioned why an eight-time MP was overlooked in favor of Mahtab, a seven-time MP, for the pro-tem Speaker position. He suggested that this decision reflects an attempt to bring dictatorship under the guise of democracy, describing it as an insult to the entire House and to the democratic process. Tiwari's remarks highlight the political tensions and perceived partisan decisions within the parliamentary framework.
