He is ex-officio Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha by being virtue of being Vice President as he is elected by MP’s both of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. If the opposition is constrained to move an impeachment motion against him on grounds of partiality and bias it raises larger questions about selection of impartial presiding officers for our legislatures,” he said.
“Parliament must seriously address itself to this question for no house can run if the concerned Presiding officer’s conduct is actuated with alleged bias or prejudice,” he added.
