Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha: Following the Supreme Court’s decision to stay Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in a 2019 defamation case due to his comments on the “Modi surname,” Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, had his membership in parliament restored on Monday.
In the Lok Sabha debate on the Manipur issue on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi is anticipated to lead the opposition for the Congress. Today in Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will face the first no-confidence motion of his second term. Rahul Gandhi visited Manipur in June, so it will be fascinating to hear what he has to say about the unrest there in Parliament. After being removed from the House of Representatives for four months, Rahul Gandhi was reinstated on Monday.
The discussion on the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha will start at 12 noon today, and go on till 7 pm. The schedule will remain the same for three days till August 10, and on the last day, PM Modi will respond to the no-confidence motion at 4 pm. On August 9, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will also intervene in the discussion, sources said.
In a House, where the halfway mark is 272, the BJP’s strength alone is 301. With NDA allies, the ruling party is expected to sail through this test. The BJP has issued a three-line whip for its Lok Sabha MPs to be present in the House from August 7 to August 11.
The Lok Sabha will begin debating the motion of no confidence at noon today and continue until 7 o’clock. Up to August 10, the programme won’t change. On the final day, at 4 p.m., PM Modi will respond to the motion of no confidence. Amit Shah, the union home minister, will also participate in the conversation on August 9, according to sources.
The BJP alone has 301 seats in a House where the midpoint is 272. The ruling party is anticipated to pass this test with the help of its NDA partners. For its Lok Sabha MPs to be present in the House from August 7 to August 11, the BJP has issued a three-line whip.
