What happened

In a masterclass of procedural deflection, the Lok Sabha Secretariat has successfully delayed a notice for the Speaker's removal by pointing out that the Opposition forgot to use a calendar. The notice allegedly referenced events from February 2025 instead of 2026, prompting the Speaker to kindly ask the Opposition to 'correct the shortcomings' before the government even considers being offended. This confirms that in Indian democracy, you don't need a majority to survive a coup; you just need a very sharp red pen and a strict adherence to formatting guidelines.
