New Delhi: Adhir Ranjan said, being the head of the country, PM Modi should have spoken his mind in front of the people of Manipur. This demand was not a wrong demand. This was the demand of the common people. He said, Modi becomes the PM of the country 100 times, we have nothing to do. We have to deal with the people of the country.
PM Modi has reached the house. Meanwhile, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary said that see the power of the no-confidence motion, we dragged PM Modi and brought him to the house. This is the strength of parliamentary traditions. We wanted PM Modi to participate in the discussion on Manipur. But don’t know why he had vowed to come to the House. We had not thought of bringing a no-confidence motion earlier, but we had to.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra said, this is not just a no-confidence motion, we know we do not have the numbers. We have not come as INDIA because we want to topple this government. We have come up with a new belief so that we can speak our mind in a democratic manner. We are against the silence that has been maintained on the issue of Manipur. Poisonous statements were made. It was said that why the issue of rape was not discussed in Rajasthan, Bengal. But I want to tell that the issue of Manipur is different. Hate crime happening in Manipur against a community. Those women are not even getting justice. There is a war going on, between the communities. More than 150 people were killed in 3 months. He said, till now in which state thousands of weapons and lakhs of bullets were looted from the police stations.
Mahua Moitra said, we have come here to ask questions in our ‘Tum abhi chup raho’ republic, where the Prime Minister tells a governor to ‘shut up’. As elected MPs in this House, we are regularly told to ‘Shut up’. This proposal is to break this code of silence in Manipur. PM Modi will not listen to us, will come and give a speech on the last day. I don’t know what is more unfortunate, our Prime Minister refused to come to Parliament or he refused to go to Manipur.
AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi surrounded the Central Government on the issue of firing in Jaipur-Mumbai train, Manipur violence, Hijab issue, Worship Act, UCC. He asked the central government that Kulbhushan Jadhav is lodged in Pakistan jail, why the government has not brought him yet. He said, you are saying that the CM of Manipur is cooperating, so you do not want to remove him. Owaisi said that a case has been registered against the Assam Rifles. Atrocities are happening with women. Some poet had said well that this is not your funeral but a chair, if you can’t do anything then why don’t you get down.
Owaisi said, people are being identified and killed inside the train and it is being said that if you want to live in the country, you have to vote for Modi. Why all this is happening in our country. Killed people after seeing their clothes and beard. The houses of Muslims were demolished in Nuh. An atmosphere of hatred was created for the Muslims. Muslim girls were kept away from studies by making the issue of hijab. Is Bilkis Bano the daughter of this country or not? His criminals were released by this government. You are silent on China. China is sitting inside our country.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, the public had brought no-confidence against the UPA in 2014-2019. We are sure that the same situation will happen in 2024 as well. He said, the name of the alliance was changed only because the public remembers their corruption by the name UPA.
Responding to the discussion on the no-confidence motion, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, the world is facing the crisis of recession. China’s economy is in trouble. The economy of Germany, UK is in trouble. But because of the steps taken by our government, our economy is the fastest growing economy in the world. We are moving fast despite Corona. During this, Sitharaman also mentioned the plans of the Modi government.
Sitharaman said, in the UPA government, we used to hear that remove poverty. Have been listening for 6 decades. But has poverty gone? But we have succeeded in reducing poverty. Steps have been taken to reduce it further. Electricity will come, gas connection will be available. Water connection will be available. But now electricity is available, gas connection is available. Got water. Toilet done. Earlier they used to say that a road will be built in the village, now it has been done. Earlier it was said that the port will be built, the airport will be built. Now become
