The no-confidence motion moved by the Opposition parties against the BJP government in the Centre will be discussed from August 8-10. While the debate will be held on August 8 and 9, the Prime Minister will reply to the motion on August 10.
The no-trust motion was moved by the Opposition's INDIA bloc last week demanding that the Prime minister speak on the Manipur situation inside the House.
The motion is doomed to fail as the opposition grouping has less than 150 members in the Lok Sabha. Despite that, the Opposition believe they can "win the battle of perception" by cornering the government and making it accountable on the Manipur issue, which the government has so far sought to avoid in Parliament.
"In the game of perception, it is a good idea to target the government on the Manipur issue (through the no-confidence motion)," PTI quoted a Congress leader last week.
