DMK to move no-trust vote against speaker in Tamil Nadu

What happens to the government if the motion is carried? “First of all, when the motion is moved in the assembly , the speaker cannot be in his seat. His deputy will have to lead the House. If the motion is passed, the speaker immediately loses his job and the assembly will have to find a new speaker.

As such the government does not fall as the motion is only against the speaker,” said former Lok Sabha secretary general Subhash Kashyap. But if the motion is passed, the party will not have the majority as the speaker is mostly from the ruling party , said Kashyap. There have been problems with the speaker in the Tamil Nadu assembly in the past too. When the DMK split in 1972 and M G Ramachandran formed the AIADMK, speaker K A Mathiazhagan was removed by the M Karunanidhi-led DMK government.
