Manish Tewari said there was no option left to the Opposition except a no-confidence motion to compel PM Modi to make a statement on Manipur in Parliament.
Congress MP Manish Tewari in an interview with PTI on Sunday said the united Opposition had no other option than to bring the no-confidence motion in the Loksabha as PM Modi made a ‘cursory’ remark on Manipur just before the commencement of the Monsoon Session. The Congress already clarified that the no-confidence motion is not about the numbers which are in favour of the NDA — but to compel PM Modi to issue a statement on Manipur situation in Parliament. This is also not the first time the opposition brought a no-confidence motion against PM Modi governemnt. In 2018, a year before the Lok Sabha election, the opposition moved a no-confidence againt the NDA which NDA won and also won the Lok Sabha election the next year.
On a questiond of the BJP saying what happened in 2018-19 will happen in 2023-24, Manish Tewar said, “If history repeats itself once, it is a tragedy and if it does so twice, it is a farce.”
