Union Minister Kiren Rijiju stated last Thursday that the main opposition parties had given their in-principle approval to support the motion during the monsoon session, scheduled from July 21 to August 21. He said the process of collecting signatures could begin. He, however, stated that the government is yet to decide whether the motion will be brought in the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha.
