In an unexpected turn of events just before the commencement of the No Confidence debate in Parliament on Monday, there was a surprise when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi decided not to lead the debate from the Opposition's side, contrary to earlier indications. Media reports had previously confirmed that Gandhi was set to kick off the discussion. However, this abrupt change led Gaurav Gogoi to step up and initiate the debate in the Lok Sabha. Following Gogoi's commencement of the debate, the BJP seized the opportunity to mock the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi for his sudden withdrawal. The BJP humorously remarked that he had "developed cold feet," making a playful jest at the expense of the Wayanad MP.
In today’s BJP Parliamentary meet, PM Modi said that this “no-confidence motion is not against us but for the mistrust among the opposition.” “Just like a six is hit in the last ball, similarly consider this as an opportunity against the Opposition,” said PM Modi.
Derek O'Brien mentioned rule 267 in Rajya Sabha. This rule pertains to the opposition's request for a discussion on the Manipur issue
Trinamool Congress MP in Rajya Sabha Derek O'Brien has been suspended for the remainder of the Parliament Session for unruly behaviour. Leader of the House Piyush Goyal moved a motion for his suspension "for continuously disturbing the proceedings of the House, disobeying the Chair and continuously creating disturbance in the House."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached for BJP Parliamentary Party meeting. Discussion on the No Confidence Motion will begin in Lok Sabha today.
