The 16-day monsoon session of Parliament, which ended on Friday, was turbulent with several interruptions and heated discussions around the
Delhi Ordinance Bill and the unrest in
Manipur. A failed no-trust vote was also carried during that time. Here is a recap of the most recent days' events:
Manipur violence
The monsoon session has been mostly disrupted by opposition parties protesting under the INDIA flag, who are calling for a detailed examination of the violence in Manipur and a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The administration said it was willing to talk, but they were certain that Amit Sha—not Prime Minister Modi—would be in charge of the conversation.
On August 10, PM Modi responded to the motion
In response to the
Manipur problem, Congressman Gaurav Gogoi filed a motion of no confidence against the PM Modi administration. MPs on the INDIA floor backed it.
From August 8 to August 10, Parliament was the scene of contentious arguments involving prominent individuals including Amit Shah, Rahul Gandhi, Smriti Irani, Gaurav Gogoi, and others. PM Modi responded to the motion on August 10.
PM Modi response to the no confidence motion
Assuring Manipur's residents of peace, PM Modi stated, "Both the state and federal governments are making every effort to guarantee that anyone found guilty receive the harshest penalty. I want to reassure the populace that Manipur will experience peace again soon.
He said that the nation stands with the Manipuris. "I want to tell the people of Manipur, including the women and daughters of Manipur, that the country is with you," he said.
He advised the MPs present not to make the Manipur issue political. "I want to ask the Parliament's members to appreciate the worth of this period. Come, let's go together.
There have been more significant problems in our country in the past, but we managed to come to an agreement. Come together with us. Take the people of Manipur seriously. Don't exploit Manipur for political purposes.
No confidence motion defeated
After a three-day discussion, PM Modi overcame the vote of no confidence on Thursday.
Modi criticised the opposition as they left the polling booth, saying: "Those who don't trust democracy are always ready to make a comment but don't have the patience to hear (the rebuttal)."
Rahul Gandhi back in Parliament
Rahul Gandhi may now return to parliament and run in the next national elections after the Supreme Court recently stayed his conviction in a defamation case involving comments against Narendra Modi's last name. As a result, on Monday, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla approved his entry into the House of Representatives.
Wednesday's parliamentary onslaught on the administration was led by Rahul Gandhi, who criticised Modi's alleged passivity in the wake of the fatal Manipur violence. Gandhi said that Modi was "killing Mother India" in an address to MPs.
