Speakers of LokSabha
The
Speaker of the Lok Sabha is the presiding officer of the lower house of
Parliament of India. The speaker is elected in the very first meeting
of the Lok Sabha after the General elections for a term of 5 years from
amongst the members of the Lok Sabha. The date of election of speaker is
fixed by the President. He is supposed to resign from his original
party because as a speaker, he has to remain impartial.
Powers and functions of the Speaker
The
Speaker presides over the sessions of the Lok Sabha and conducts the
business in the house. He decides whether a bill is a money bill or a
non money bill. He maintains discipline and decorum in the house and can
punish a member for his unruly behaviour by suspending him. He permits

of no confidence, motion of adjournment, motion of censure and calling
