The Opposition INDIA alliance intends to submit a no-confidence resolution against the government in the lower House, and the Lok Sabha has instructed them to be present in the Parliament. To finish their plans for introducing the motion against the Narendra Modi-led government, the alliance partners will meet on Wednesday at 10 a.m. The Congress MPs have been requested to visit the Congress Parliamentary Party headquarters after the opposition meeting to discuss "some important issues."
Amit Shah, the union's minister of housing, and Mallikarjun Kharge, the congressman.
Manish Tewari, a senior spokesperson for the Congress, responded during a party briefing when asked if the opposition would introduce a "no confidence motion" against the government over the Manipur issue, saying that all options are open under the Parliamentary system and tradition.
"In a Parliamentary democracy, all instrumentalities which are available in the rules and procedures of the Lok Sabha remain open to the opposition," he told the press.
The reason we insist that the prime minister address both houses of Parliament on the subject of Manipur is because of the sensitivity (of the situation in the border state) and the depravity that Manipur has regrettably witnessed in the last 78 to 80 days, as we have pointed out over the past three or four days.
What you need to know about the opposition's proposed no-confidence motion:
The opposition parties, according to a PTI report, contend that they would win the perception war by cornering the government on the Manipur issue during the discussion, even if the intended no-confidence vote is doomed to fail given the numbers overwhelmingly stacked in the ruling NDA's favor.
The goal of presenting the motion, according to opposition leaders, was to try and pressure the Prime Minister to address the Manipur issue in the House.
Only in the Lok Sabha can a motion of no confidence be presented against the government. The prime minister must step down if the government is defeated in the voting required to decide the motion.
To give the Speaker a notice of no confidence, the Opposition will need at least 50 Lower House legislators' backing.
The Speaker decides when to bring up such notice in the House.
However, there is no assurance that the Prime Minister will address a particular topic when he must respond to a no-confidence debate, even if the motion is introduced in Lok Sabha with the necessary support of at least 50 Lower House members.
