No Confidence Motion HIGHLIGHTS: Hello and welcome to the live blog on the no-confidence motion debate in Parliament.
Amid the ongoing debate on the no-confidence motion brought in by the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched an all-out attack on BJP and hit out at the Modi government over the Manipur violence.
“You are putting the entire country in flames. First, it was Manipur, now it is Haryana. You want to burn the whole country," Gandhi said in his no-trust vote speech in Lok Sabha.
Taking a dig at PM Modi, he said, "PM Modi doesn't listen to India's voice... Raavan used to listen to just two persons — Meghnad and Kumbhakarna. Similarly, PM Modi listens to only Amit Shah and [Gautam] Adani."
Countering Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, Union Minister Smriti Irani began her speech against the no-confidence motion, saying that the Opposition must "quit India". Commenting on the Opposition alliance's nomenclature, she said that these parties were not INDIA as India is against corruption and dynastic politics.
"You are not India, for India is not corrupt. India believes in merit not in dynasty and today of all the days, people like you need to remember what was told to the British - Quit India. Corruption quit India, Dynasty quit India. Merit now finds a place in India,” Irani said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, replying to the no-confidence motion tabled by the Opposition, once again invoked “Nehru’s mistake” and addressed the Manipur issue.
He said that the no-confidence motion has been brought only to “create a delusion” and said “Opposition may not have confidence in PM Modi but people of India have.” Shah also talked about terrorism in Kashmir, insurgency in Naxal-hit states and the ethnic violence in Manipur.
On the issue of northeast, Amit Shah slammed the Opposition saying it did nothing for the region whereas PM Modi visited the states more than 50 times.
