Congress files no-confidence motion against BJP in Lok Sabha
FirstpostThe motion was filed by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi after a collective decision was made by the Opposition alliance I.N.D.I.A on Tuesday Amid a chaotic couple of days in the Parliament, Congress on Wednesday submitted a no-confidence motion against the ruling BJP government in the Lok Sabha. The Opposition acknowledged that despite the possibility of getting outnumbered in the Lok Sabha, a no-confidence motion is a way to seek a reply from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on various issues including the violence in Manipur. He is behaving as an arrogant person - not to come to the Parliament and make a statement on Manipur…We feel that it is our duty to use this last weapon.” Since last week, when the Monsoon Session began, the Opposition has been demanding in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha a detailed discussion on the Manipur violence and a statement from the Prime Minister on the issue. BJP hits back Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said that the Opposition played a similar move against BJP ahead of the 2019 general elections.
