Sparks fly on Day One of the no-trust debate
The Morning Standard
|August 09, 2023
SETTING the ball rolling for the three-day debate on a no-confidence motion against the Modi government, Opposition MPS on Tuesday demanded the immediate resignation of Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh and the restoration of peace in the state.
Initiating the debate, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi lashed out at the government saying the Opposition alliance, INDIA, was forced to move a no-trust motion to break PM Narendra Modi's 'vow of silence' on the issue.
Both the Centre and the state governments have failed to maintain law and order, he charged, and sought to know why it took the PM 80 days to talk about Manipur. "As the head of the state, PM's words carry weight and it will send a message to the people in Manipur that the country stands with them," Gogoi said, adding the Opposition wanted the PM to visit Manipur, lead an all-party delegation and hold meetings with various stakeholders there.
The six-hour-long debate saw heated and bitter exchanges between both the Opposition and Treasury benches.
