NEW DELHI, Aug 11 (NNN-PTI) – The no-confidence motion, brought by the opposition parties in India, against the federal government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was defeated, by a voice vote, in the Indian parliament's lower house, yesterday.
The debate over the no-confidence motion lasted for three days, after it was introduced by a lawmaker belonging to the main opposition party, the Indian National congress (INC), on Tuesday.
The main agenda of the opposition parties to bring in the no-confidence motion was to discuss the situation in the strife-torn north-eastern state of Manipur.
Manipur has been on edge since May 3, when large-scale violence broke out in the state, during a tribal protest over the inclusion of the non-tribal Meiteis community, for a scheduled tribe status, designated for disadvantaged socio-economic groups, which gives them reservations in education and government jobs.– NNN-PTI
