No-trust debate: Speaker calls on Gaurav Gogoi instead of Rahul Gandhi, ruckus ensues

The debate on the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha began with chaos when Speaker Om Birla called on Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi to open the proceedings instead of Rahul Gandhi.

The BJP mocked the Congress and asked why Rahul Gandhi was not initiating the debate like it had been reported earlier.

The no-confidence motion debate against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is underway in the Lok Sabha.

In the backdrop of the crucial parliamentary deliberation is the ethnic violence in Manipur.

The motion was introduced by the Congress to elicit a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Parliament on the situation in Lok Sabha.

The Modi government is now in its second term, with opposition parties forming the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to prevent the ruling BJP-led NDA from coming to power for a third term under him.
