"The opposition has brought a no-confidence motion against the Lok Sabha Speaker. Rahul Gandhi had the opportunity to speak for as long as he wanted, as time was allotted for his party.

Such members should naturally be suspended according to the rules and should not be given a chance to speak," he said.
