      Singhvi : Is it not a strange case that they have not challenged the Speaker's rejection of their resolution?

      Singhvi : If Nabam Rabia is applied literally, then 10th schedule is ended. Because a defector can always send a resolution to remove Speaker and get away. If it is applied like a Gita or Bible without considering the facts, then there is no 10th schedule.
