Lok Sabha debate on no-confidence motion on August 8, PM Modi to reply on August 10
The HinduThe debate on the no-trust motion, moved by the Congress and supported by the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance or the INDIA bloc, against the Narendra Modi government in the Lok Sabha, will begin on August 8, and the Prime Minister is expected to reply on August 10. The decision was taken at the Lok Sabha’s Business Advisory Committee meeting on Tuesday amid a walkout by senior leaders of the INDIA bloc to protest against the government prioritising its legislative agenda over the no-trust motion. The no-confidence motion was moved by the Congress’ deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, on July 26, in an attempt to force the PM to speak on the issue of strife-torn Manipur. In protest, the INDIA alliance partners walked out of the Speaker’s Business Advisory Committee of the Lok Sabha,” Congress Whip Manickam Tagore said.
