Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla advised PM Modi not to attend session Feb. 5, 2026, citing intelligence of potential disruption, leading to first missed PM speech since 2004; Congress called the move a pretext.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said he advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to attend a session due to intelligence indicating Congress MPs might disrupt proceedings near the PM’s seat, calling the situation unprecedented and a threat to parliamentary dignity.
Birla emphasized the need to preserve decorum and prevent escalation, stating the Prime Minister agreed to his recommendation.
The Motion of Thanks was passed without Modi’s customary speech, marking the first such occurrence since 2004.
