No-Confidence Motion: PM Modi to speak in Parliament at 4 pm today

The war of words in Parliament over the No-confidence Motion is heating up. On Wednesday, it was Rahul Gandhi who first grabbed attention with his fiery speech, followed by a strong defence of Home Minister Amit Shah, who fought tooth and nail to defend his government on the Manipur issue.

On Thursday, it will be Prime Minister Narendra Modi's turn to deliver his speech. The PMO tweeted on Thursday to inform that the PM would speak in the Parliament for the No-confidence Motion at 4 PM today. 

At around 4 PM this evening, PM @narendramodi will be taking part in the discussion on the Motion of No-Confidence.

The opposition alliance, INDIA, is gheraoing the central government on the Manipur unrest issue.

After his membership of the Parliament was reinstated, Rahul spoke in the Parliament for the first time on Wednesday, blaming the BJP government for the Manipur crisis.

The Congress leader used some harsh words for the government, blaming its policies for having 'murdered Bharat Mata' in Manipur.

The opposition parties have often accused the PM of deliberately running away from a serious debate about the Manipur crisis. 

Shah on Wednesday defended the government and called the No-confidence Motion politically motivated.

He said that the people have full faith in the BJP government, and the Congress did nothing for the Northeast region when it was in power.

He also recalled the time of the PV Narsimha Rao government underwent a No-Confidence Motion and the Congress allegedly bribed the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha members to vote in favour of their government.
