He said the government is yet to decide whether the motion would be brought in the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha.

For Lok Sabha, signatures of a minimum 100 MPs is required. For the Rajya Sabha, the requirement is the support of at least 50 MPs.

He said the signatures will be collected after the government decides on the House where the motion will be brought.

The Monsoon session will commence from July 21 and end on August 21.
