Rahul Gandhi To Begin No-Trust Debate Today, 5 Ministers On Centre's List
The Lok Sabha will witness a heated debate on the no-confidence motion against the BJP-led government today, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, whose membership was restored following a Supreme Court direction, likely to be the lead speaker of the opposition bloc INDIA. The discussion on the no-confidence motion is expected to start at 12 pm today and will continue till Thursday, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reply to the debate.
The no-confidence motion was moved by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on August 2, citing the government's failure to address the ethnic violence in Manipur, which has claimed over 100 lives and displaced thousands of people. The opposition has been demanding a statement from the Prime Minister on the Manipur issue and has accused the government of mishandling the situation and violating human rights.
The government has expressed confidence that it will defeat the no-confidence motion with a comfortable majority, as it enjoys the support of over 300 MPs in the 543-member House. The BJP has also fielded five ministers to counter the opposition's charges and highlight the achievements of the Modi government in various sectors. The ministers are Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya.
Rahul Gandhi, who returned to Parliament on Monday after his disqualification as a member was revoked by the Lok Sabha Secretariat following a Supreme Court stay on his conviction in a defamation case, is expected to launch a scathing attack on the government over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic crisis, the farmers' protests, the Pegasus snooping row and other issues. Gandhi had earlier accused the Modi government of being "anti-people" and "anti-democracy" and had said that he would expose its "lies" in Parliament.
The no-confidence motion will also be an opportunity for the opposition to demonstrate its newly firmed up unity to take on the Modi-led BJP in the Lok Sabha elections next year. The opposition parties have been holding regular meetings to chalk out a common strategy and have also staged joint protests inside and outside Parliament on various issues. The opposition bloc INDIA comprises 15 parties, including Congress, TMC, DMK, NCP, SP, RJD, CPI(M), CPI, AAP, IUML, RSP, NC, JKNC, TRS and YSRCP.
The no-confidence motion will be the third such motion faced by the Modi government since it came to power in 2014. The previous two motions were moved in 2018 and 2019 by the TDP and Congress respectively and were defeated by huge margins. The last time a no-confidence motion was passed by the Lok Sabha was in 1999, when the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government lost by one vote after AIADMK withdrew its support..
