Amid the impasse in Parliament over their demands related to the Manipur violence, the Opposition alliance, I.N.D.I.A, is allegedly mulling moving a no-confidence motion on Wednesday (July 26) against the central government in the Lok Sabha. According to sources, the Opposition discussed a proposal to move a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government in Tuesday's meeting held in New Delhi.
The sources said after weighing various options to force Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak in Parliament on the situation in strife-torn Manipur, it was decided that this would be an effective way to compel the government to initiate a discussion on the issue. The opposition strategy to corner the government on Manipur will continue in the Rajya Sabha as well, the sources added.
The decision was allegedly taken when leaders of the Opposition alliance INDIA on Tuesday met to chalk out their strategy in both houses of Parliament and are set to intensify their demand for a statement from the Prime Minister on Manipur violence.
The leaders met in the chamber of the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and also decided to press for revoking the suspension of AAP MP Sanjay Singh.
