NEW DELHI: Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday said over 100 MPs have signed a notice to bring a removal motion against Justice Yashwant Varma, crossing the threshold to bring the motion in Lok Sabha .

“The signature (exercise) is underway and it has crossed 100 already,” Rijiju told reporters after the all-party meeting, while adding that it is for the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), a group of parties which finalises the agenda in their respective Houses, to decide when the motion will be moved.

“I cannot comment on any business in terms of priority because until the matter is passed by the BAC with the chair’s approval, it is difficult for me to make an announcement outside,” Rijiju said.
