The Opposition staged a walkout during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in the Lok Sabha Thursday, protesting against his refusal to address the reasons behind the no-confidence motion. PM Modi commented, "They don't have patience."
Around 1.5 hours into the PM’s speech, as he criticised the INDIA alliance, Congress MPs, party leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition members walked out, chanting slogans and waving placards.
"Those who don't believe in democracy are always ready to speak, but don't have the patience to listen. Abuse and leave. Litter and leave. Spread lies and leave. This is their game," he said.
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi stated that the no-confidence motion aimed to make the PM address the Manipur issue. The PM had been "adamant" about not discussing Manipur, Gogoi added.
