The newly formed opposition grouping &#8216;INDIA&#8217; has been demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give a comprehensive statement on the over two-month-long ethnic violence in Manipur.<\/p>\n<p>Holding &#8216;INDIA for Manipur&#8217; placards, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress MPs were seen holding a silent protest at 11 pm. They will spend the night there.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, the Congress said parliament did not function for a third day because of the &#8220;continued refusal&#8221; of the government to accept INDIA&#8217;s demand for a &#8220;comprehensive statement&#8221; by PM Modi in both the houses on the Manipur crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Several opposition MPs had given notices for an adjournment motion to discuss the situation in Manipur.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition wants a debate allowing all parties to speak without any time restrictions and has been holding protests on the issue since the monsoon session started on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The government has accused the opposition of running away from a debate on the all-important issue and has questioned their seriousness towards it. The opposition has also accused the government of the same &#8211; i.e. running away from a debate.<\/p>\n<p>Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge alleged the government is being insensitive. &#8220;Our demand is that the PM should come to the house and make a statement. We are ready to discuss that statement. You are speaking outside but not inside, this is an insult to parliament. It is a serious matter,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi accused opposition leaders of running away from a debate and also questioned their &#8220;silence&#8221; on issues of violence against women in other states, days after a video was shared on social media showing two tribal women being paraded naked in Manipur.<\/p>\n<p>Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel said the opposition should not make excuses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The PM has already made a statement on Manipur with sensitivity and firmness ahead of the (monsoon) session. It is wrong that we didn&#8217;t start the discussion (on the Manipur issue in parliament) at all by making an excuse in the name of the PM,&#8221; Mr Singh said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/opposition-mps-sit-on-night-protest-outside-parliament-amid-manipur-tangle-4238168\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Opposition MPs sit on a night protest outside parliament New Delhi: A group of opposition MPs are sitting in front of Mahatma Gandhi&#8217;s statue at Parliament House in protest against disruption of the monsoon session for a third day.
