Following proper parliamentary procedures, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla admitted the motion after ensuring the support of over 50 MPs through a head count. Birla announced that the date and time for the discussion on the motion would be determined through consultations with all parties involved.
Highlighting the significance of the motion, Manickam Tagore, the Congress whip in Lok Sabha, stated that it represented the Opposition's final recourse against the government. He asserted, "We wanted to break the arrogance of Modi.
He is behaving as an arrogant person - not coming to the Parliament and making a statement on Manipur...We feel that it is our duty to use this last weapon." This reflects the Opposition's strong resolve in their pursuit to hold the government accountable for its actions and policies.
