Union Home Minister Amit Shah Meets Speaker Om Birla Amid Move On Motion For Removing Justice Yashwant Varma (VIDEO)

New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla at the latter's residence here on Tuesday as Parliament readies to admit a motion for the removal of Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Varma, who is embroiled in a suspected corruption case.

Senior government ministers met Birla at his office in the Parliament complex on Monday, hours after a notice was submitted to the speaker. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju had said 152 MPs belonging to different parties had signed it.

An opposition-sponsored notice for a similar motion was admitted in the Rajya Sabha as well. Both Houses are expected to work jointly over the issue now. Government sources have, however, said the motion is likely to be piloted in the Lower House.
