Govt to face a no-trust vote on Manipur crisis
Hindustan Times|July 27, 2023
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday admitted a notice for a no-confidence motion by Congress lawmaker Gaurav Gogoi, setting the stage for a parliamentary battle between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the newly constituted Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
Govt to face a no-trust vote on Manipur crisis
 

The debate on the one-line motion — which says the House has lost its confidence in the Union council of ministers — is likely to start next week, two Lok Sabha officials said. The motion poses no threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration which commands a brute majority in the Lower House but the Opposition has signalled it wants to use the debate to try and corner the government on the continuing violence in Manipur.

“For the last over 84 days, the law-and-order system has broken down in Manipur, communities are divided, there is nothing in the name of the government there...all this compelled us to bring a no-confidence motion against the government,” senior Congress leader Manish Tewari said. At least 150 people have died in ethnic clashes in the northeastern state, and a 30-second video of a barbaric sexual assault of two women by a mob has sparked a nationwide outcry, and jammed Parliament.

The rulebook gives the Speaker a window of 10 days to start the debate. ”The Speaker shall declare that leave is granted and that the motion will be taken up on such day, not being more than ten days from the date on which the leave is asked for,” says Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha. The monsoon session is scheduled to end on August 11.

This is the second no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government — the NDA defeated one in 2018 — and the 28th since 1952. This is also the seventh instance of the Lower House discussing a no-confidence motion within 12 months of national polls.

The BJP has 301 members in the Lok Sabha, and with its allies, the NDA has more than 330. The Opposition INDIA has 141 members. Others have 67 members.
