PM Modi to reply on No-confidence motion in Lok Sabha at around 4 PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the Lok Sabha on Thursday. The PM would be present in the House on Thursday to respond to the vote of no-confidence, the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced on Wednesday, confirming the PM’s attendance at the Parliament. The Prime Minister will appear before the House on Thursday to respond to the motion of no-confidence, according to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

As the government and opposition are having a heated debate about today’s no-confidence move. The Lok Sabha motion will be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He’ll probably address the House after 4 o’clock today. The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.) tabled a no-confidence motion against the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) administration in an effort to compel a legislative discussion on the violence in Manipur and other contentious matters.

Proceedings commenced along expected lines this morning, with sloganeering by Opposition MPs leading to adjournments in both Houses. The Rajya Sabha witnessed a particularly tumultuous first hour, with the government and the Opposition clashing over the rule under which discussion on the violence in Manipur is to be held. Amid uproar,  Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “God” that he cannot come to Parliament. The upper house was adjourned till 2 PM.

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi due to speak today, the three-day debate on the no-confidence motion against his administration will come to an end. Over the past two days, leaders of the opposition INDIA group and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance have engaged in a series of acrimonious discussions in the Lok Sabha.

On Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Modi and the governing BJP administration, blaming them of igniting both the nation and violently conflicted Manipur.

Late at night, the Chair issued an order asking for the records of the House to be cleared of his speech to Bharat Mata in Manipur. Late at night, the Chair ordered that his comments about Bharat Mata in Manipur be removed from the House’s records. The Congress blasted the decision as a gross injustice and accused the government of “denigrating” Parliament.
