New Delhi, July 18 (KNN) In a stormy start of Monsoon Session of the Parliament, opposition parties moved the No Trust Motion against the government which has been accepted by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.

Mahajan said she would soon notify the date for discussion on the notice, which was moved by the Congress, Telugu Desam Party and Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party.

It was for the first time in 15 years, a no-confidence motion against the government was moved and accepted in Lok Sabha today.

The BJP-led government has 273 members in the Lok Sabha, far over the half-way mark apart from its allies.

Ahead of the session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appealed every MP and every party to make this a fruitful session.

“I always express this hope and make that effort. I am hoping this time too," Modi said in his remarks ahead of the session.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said, “Opposition parties may have no-confidence on the government, but I want to make it absolutely clear to the house that the people of the country have full confidence on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.”

MPs supporting the motion of no-confidence were asked to stand for counting. The Speaker then declared that there are indeed requisite 50 MPs supporting the motion. (KNN Bureau)
