1 Congress To Submit No Confidence Motion Against Modi Government: What Does it Mean?

The ongoing crisis in Manipur has been the central demand of the Opposition as they seek a discussion on it with the ruling Modi government. In an effort to bring the focus on this topic, the Opposition parties‘ alliance I.N.D.I.A. has decided to introduce a no-confidence motion against the ruling government. However, the likelihood of them succeeding is very low as they do not have the numbers to get the motion approved.

make statement in Parliament; keeps ‘maun’ on the crimes against women in Manipur till the Supreme Court comments; keeps ‘maun’ on Brij Bhushan

Says no territory in occupied by China

How can I.N.D.I.A have confidence in him ?
