Once Speaker Om Birla enlists the support of MPs, he can list the motion for debate any time within 10 days of adoption. Parliament has been paralysed since it commenced on July 20 with the opposition demanding the PM’s statement on Manipur followed by a long debate on the issue after suspending all business.
