She is a former Union Minister of State of India.

Former parliamentary affairs minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath will preside over the proceedings of the Lower House of the Parliament as the pro-tem Speaker.

President Pranab Mukherjee will administer Nath's oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan before the Lok Sabha assembles on Wedmesday.

The election of a new Speaker will be held on June 6.
