Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the Lok Sabha on Thursday in response to the Opposition’s no-confidence motion against the NDA government.
The Parliament witnessed disruptions as proceedings resumed on Thursday morning, leading to brief adjournments. While the Lok Sabha was adjourned due to loud protests by the Opposition till 12 noon, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar adjourned the Rajya Sabha till 2 p.m. following a heated exchange between the Opposition and the ruling party over the rule under which discussion of violence in Manipur should be taken up.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh confirming the PM’s presence at the Parliament on Wednesday, said, “The PM will be present in the House on Thursday to reply to the no-confidence motion.”
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also confirmed that the Prime Minister will be present in the House on Thursday to reply to the no-confidence motion.
