Now, CPI-M submits notice of no-confidence against government in LS

March 26, 2018 20:45

As the Parliament logjam entered the 15th day, the CPI-M today submitted a notice of no-confidence against the BJP-led central government in the Lok Sabha, the fourth party to do so after the Congress and two Andhra parties.

Parliament will resume its sitting tomorrow after a three-day recess amid indications that the logjam may continue. The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha are due to adjourn sine die on April 5.

On Friday, the Congress moved a no-confidence motion against the government in the Lok Sabha, days after the Telugu Desam Party and the YSR Congress adopted a similar measure.

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has so far said she cannot take up notices for the no-confidence motion against the government as the "House was not in order" amid protests by members of different parties on various issues.

The leader of the CPI-M in Lok Sabha, P Karunakaran, submitted the notice to the Lok Sabha Secretariat today and urged the Speaker to include the no-confidence motion in the revised list of business for tomorrow.
