SC seeks Speaker response to UBT plea against MPs' merger with Sena
The Supreme Court of India will examine the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's decision to recognize the merger of six MPs from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction with the Eknath Shinde-led faction. The UBT alleges that this merger undermines parliamentary democracy and constitutes a constitutional violation. The court has sought a response from the Speaker regarding this plea, which could have significant implications for party dynamics in Maharashtra.
