Ready to bring impeachment resolution against Dhankar, what is the plan of opposition parties?

Opposition parties are preparing to bring impeachment motion against Rajya Sabha Speaker Jagadeep Dhankar under Article 67 of the Constitution. But, no one has made an official announcement yet. Even though 87 India Bloc MPs have signed the motion to remove Rajya Sabha Speaker instead of 50. But before submitting this motion, the opposition parties should find a middle ground through negotiations and resolve their mutual differences. The opposition has decided to go ahead with this strategy. Even if the opposition realizes that it is behind in the numbers game, a dark chapter in history is a big deal. So, if there is a chance to find a middle ground between the ruling party and the chair, the opposition parties are ready. Rules for Removal of Speaker: Let us tell you that the Speaker of the Rajya Sabha can be removed only if the Vice President of India is removed from office. At the same time, a motion to remove the Speaker can be tabled only in the Rajya Sabha and not in the Lok Sabha. Apart from this, 14 days prior notice should also be given. Requirement of Effective Majority in Rajya Sabha: According to the rules, a motion to remove the Speaker must be passed by a majority vote in the Rajya Sabha (i.e. a majority of the then members of the Rajya Sabha, excluding vacancies). Also, it has to be approved by a simple majority in the Lok Sabha. The India Bloc has 87 MPs and more than 80 have signed it. 4-5 Congress MPs have left and they too will leave soon. Whether or when to submit a proposal. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has discussed this with the leaders of the India Bloc and has not yet taken a final decision. It is not yet clear when that will be done.
