A discussion on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s  government on Manipur issue began in the Lok Sabha with Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi initiating the debate. Rahul Gandhi was slated to open but did not in last minute change.

PM will have to accept that his double-engine government, his government in Manipur has failed. That is why 150 people died in Manipur, around 5000 houses were torched, around 60,000 people are in relief camps and around 6500 FIRs have been registered,” Gogoi said.

The Congress leader said that the opposition I.N.D.I.A. alliance has brought the no-trust motion for Manipur as the state wants justice.

“The CM of the state, who should have created an atmosphere of talks, of peace and harmony, has taken instigating steps in the past two to three days that have created tension in society,” he said.

“We are compelled to bring the no-confidence motion. This was never about numbers but about justice for Manipur. I have moved the motion that this House expresses no confidence in the Government. I.N.D.I.A. has brought this motion for Manipur. Manipur wants justice,” Gogoi said.

Stating that the PM had taken a ‘maun vrat’ (vow of silence) to not speak in the Parliament so the opposition was compelled to introduce the motion to break his silence.”

Why did he not visit Manipur to date? Why did it take almost 80 days to finally speak on Manipur and when he did speak it was just for 30 seconds? Why has the Chief Minister not been sacked the Manipur CM so far?,” Gogoi asked.
