Narendra Modi will mark his presence in the Lok Sabha tomorrow to reply to the no-confidence motion moved by the Opposition against the NDA government, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said today. “The PM will be present in the House tomorrow to reply to the no-confidence motion," the Union minister told Lok Sabha today. Just before the adjournment of the House, the Union Minister confirmed the same.
Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday urged warring Kuki and Meitei communities to hold talks, as Lok Sabha adopted a resolution calling for the restoration of peace in the northeastern state. Intervening in the debate on the no-confidence motion after Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders slammed the government's handling of the Manipur situation, Shah urged them not to politicise the issue of ethnic violence in the state. "I agree with the opposition that there is a cycle of violence in Manipur ...
Nobody can support such incidents. Whatever happened is shameful, but to politicise those events is even more shameful," Shah said. The minister said 152 people were killed, 14,898 people arrested and 1,106 FIRs registered since violence erupted on May 3.
Lok Sabha also adopted a resolution read out by Speaker Om Birla appealing for peace in Manipur that was enthusiastically supported by the NDA members in the presence of the opposition. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Tuesday initiated the debate on the motion which later turned into a heated argument between Opposition and the Centre.
