Ahead of the 7th day of proceedings of the ongoing session, AAP leader Raghav Chadha said it is too little and too late to hand over the Manipur viral video case to CBI after 85 days. He also questioned the passage of bills after the acceptance of the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha. "No bill is introduced in Parliament after a no-confidence motion is accepted by the Lok Sabha Speaker, but we are seeing that several bills are introduced and passed in Parliament. I appeal to the Speaker that no legislative business should take place in Lok Sabha now...A delegation of the I.N.D.I.A bloc will visit Manipur, with the hope of providing support & stand in solidarity with the people of Manipur," he added.
