Lok Sabha sees heated debate as Modi government faces no-confidence motion.
No-confidence motion against The Modi Government was defeated after a six-hour debate on Covid-19, farmers, and security. The Modi government faced a tough challenge in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, as the opposition moved a no-confidence motion against it. The motion was mainly based on the unrest in Manipur, where different communities have been fighting over land and identity. The opposition also raised issues such as the Covid-19 crisis, the farmers’ agitation, and the national security situation. The government defended its record and accused the opposition of spreading falsehoods, creating disorder, and disrupting the parliament. The debate lasted for six hours and saw heated exchanges between leaders of both sides. Prime Minister Modi also spoke at the end and ridiculed the opposition for not having faith in their own motion. The motion was later defeated by a voice vote, and the government survived. The no-confidence motion was the 28th such motion to be admitted in the Lower Hous
