Akhilesh Yadav hailed Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, hoping for impartiality and fairness in parliamentary proceedings. He emphasized the importance of the Speaker's role in ensuring equal respect for all parties, stressing no MPs should face suspension as it harms the House's dignity.

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday praised Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, likening him to the 'chief justice' of democratic justice. Yadav insisted that the House should operate under Birla's unbiased guidance.

Congratulating Birla on his re-election as Speaker, Yadav expressed confidence that Birla would uphold the dignity of the office by treating every party with equal respect and providing equal opportunities.

Yadav stressed the significance of impartiality, saying it was a key obligation of the high office. He voiced hope that the actions like suspension of MPs, which he felt tarnished the House's dignity, would be avoided. Yadav also underscored standing by just decisions and ensuring that everyone, not just the opposition, adheres to decorum.

The SP leader, attending the new House for the first time, remarked on the physical and symbolic stature of the Speaker's Chair. SP now holds 37 seats in the Lok Sabha, making it the second-largest opposition party after Congress.
