The INDIA leaders have been demanding a discussion on Manipur in Rajya Sabha and also a detailed statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Upper House.
Modi on Thursday spoke in Lok Sabha during the no-confidence motion.
Modi, in his over two hours long speech, gave an assurance that peace will prevail in Manipur and that it will march forward on the path of development.
The BJP-ruled state government in Manipur has been trying to resolve the situation prevailing there for the past six years and the efforts will continue in the future too, Modi said.
“The entire country and the House is with Manipur. We will together ensure peace there,” Modi said.
However, he said that all efforts to ensure peace in the state should be free of politics.
The no-confidence motion was defeated in Lok Sabha by voice vote.
