Barbra Streisand To Receive Honorary Palme d'Or At Cannes For Legendary Career In Entertainment

The Lok Sabha witnessed heated exchanges during the debate on the no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla, with opposition leaders accusing the chair of bias towards the ruling government. During the debate, Sayani Ghosh launched a sharp attack on the government, alleging that the voice of the opposition was being systematically suppressed in Parliament. She warned the ruling side not to “turn Parliament into a party office” and claimed the House was increasingly functioning like a platform for political messaging rather than policy debate. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also raised concerns about opposition MPs being stopped from speaking. The remarks triggered a political face-off between the opposition bloc and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, intensifying the debate over parliamentary functioning and political neutrality of the Speaker.
