Senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal has raised serious concerns over the delay in action on the impeachment motion filed against the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Speaking on the issue on Tuesday, Sibal revealed that the motion, submitted on December 13, 2024, has been pending for over six months without any response from the Chair.
"On December 13, 2024, we brought an impeachment motion against the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. 55 members of the Rajya Sabha had signed on to that. It's been around six months, and to date, the Chairman has not taken a step forward in that direction," Sibal said.
He further criticized the lack of urgency shown by constitutional authorities, stating, "Those who are in constitutional posts just need to verify the signatures; should it take six months?"
Sibal expressed apprehension that the motion may be dismissed on technical grounds. "I tell you today — 55 signed are there — two things will happen: either no action will be taken or the 5–6 signatures will be declared invalid so the motion can be rejected..." he warned.
