Lok Sabha Security Breach: The dearth of a Deputy Speaker was felt today as parliament experienced its biggest security breach since the 2001 terror attack.
It is parliamentary convention and a constitution requirement that Lok Sabha has a deputy speaker. But this Lok Sabha, which is nearing the end of its tenure, never had one.
Elections were never held for the post, which, by convention, goes either to the Opposition or a supporting party of the ruling alliance.
