Top Quotes from Amit Shah’s Response to the Opposition in the Lok Sabha: “No-Confidence Motion Brought To Confuse People”
In a heated response to a debate on a vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the violence in Manipur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday attacked the opposition, branding it “politically motivated” in a speech that was filled with emotion. In contrast to claims that the Modi administration has neglected the northeastern state, Shah emphasized the accomplishments of the government and the humanitarian work it has done for farmers, youth, and women.
Shah hoisted the ‘Quit India’ signs, which caused a ruckus. A loud chorus of NDA lawmakers joined him in chanting, “Quit India, dynasty Quit India, appeasement Quit India.”
Shah, making reference to former prime minister PV Narasimha Rao’s no-trust vote in 1993, said that previous Congress administrations had made the decision to maintain power “by hook or by crook.” According to him, Atal Bihari Vajpayee opted to resign rather than engage in corruption to keep his administration in power when it was under threat of a no-trust vote in 1999.
The following are the key quotes from his address to the Lok Sabha:
