Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday that it was a unanimous decision of all political parties to move unitedly in a case of perceived corruption in judiciary, asserting that the Lok Sabha would take up the motion, which was signed by 152 MPs from the ruling alliance and the Opposition.

Official sources said the Opposition-sponsored notice for a similar motion in the Rajya Sabha, which received it on the same day when the bipartisan notice was submitted to the Lok Sabha on July 21, has not been admitted.
