Speaking during the ongoing debate on the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister, Shri Amit Shah said that 27 no-confidence motions and 11 confidence motions have been presented in this House since independence

 

This no-confidence motion is such that neither the people, nor the House expressed no-confidence towards the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers

This no-confidence motion has been brought only to create confusion in the public and it is also not reflecting the public sentiment

People have confidence in the government because if any government has instilled new hope in the lives of 60 crore people of the country, then it is the government led by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi

After independence, if the people of the country have shown the most confidence in any government, then it is in the Narendra Modi government

After 30 years, for the first time in the country, the people of the country gave a stable government with full majority for two consecutive terms, many surveys around the world say that after independence, Shri Narendra Modi is the most popular Prime Minister of the country

After independence, there has been no Prime Minister like Shri Narendra Modi who works 17 hours a day without taking any leave, and has travelled the maximum distance and spent the maximum number of days across every state of the country

Narendra Modi government has taken more than 50 decisions in 9 years, which are landmark and will be written in golden letters in the history

On this day in 1942, Mahatma Gandhi had started the Quit India Movement and on this very day Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given slogan of Corruption Quit India, Appeasement Quit India, Dynasty Quit India

Earlier, the opposition party got power only by taking votes using the false slogan of 'Garibi Hatao', but did nothing to alleviate poverty, Shri Modi has done the work of removing poverty from people's lives, that's why he is considered as 'Deenmitra'

No one can agree with the violence in Manipur, no one can support these incidents, but doing politics on these incidents is more shameful

Misconception was spread among the people of the country that the government is not ready to discuss Manipur, whereas before the parliament session, a request for discussion had been made through a letter to the Speaker by the government

I am ready to respond from the first day of the parliamentary session; it is my duty and responsibility towards the country, parliament, and opposition

Opposition doesn't want discussion on an important issue like Manipur, and it just wants to protest

Shri Shah questioned the democratic notions of opposition for not allowing the Home Minister to present his side, the opposition cannot silence us with noise because we have been elected by 1.3 billion people

There has not been a single day of curfew, bandh, blockade in Manipur in the last 6 years and insurgency violence has almost ended

The violence in Manipur is a situational racial violence, and it should not be made into a political issue

On the Manipur issue, the Prime Minister has been in constant touch since day one, he inquired about the situation from me even at 4 o'clock in the morning, and then spoke to me again at 6:30 in the morning

We worked continuously for three days, conducted 16 video conferences, sent 36,000 security personnel to Manipur, used Air Force aircraft, and sent a security advisor

I review the security situation through video conferencing with the Unified Command every week, the Union Home Secretary reviews it every second day and the Director, Intelligence Bureau conducts the review on daily basis

Six cases related to the conspiracy behind the violence in Manipur have been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Supreme Court has also assigned 11 cases to the CBI, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed for this purpose

Manipur violence has claimed 152 lives so far, of which 107 people died in May, 30 in June, 15 in July and 4 in August

Around 14,898 people have been arrested, and 1,106 FIRs have been registered so far

Violence is slowly decreasing and it should not be reignited

The shameful video of 4th May from Manipur is a very unfortunate incident, and any such incident happening with any woman anywhere in the world is a blot on society and no one can support it

On the day when the video was circulated, we arrested all the 9 persons with the help of face recognition software by matching them with the government's data and they are facing trial

With a very close watch over the issues, efforts are being made to establish peace there and soon we will be able to control the violence

I want to make a humble solemn request to both the communities of Manipur through the house that violence is not the solution to any problem, please talk

Solve this problem by sitting with the Government of India, rumours have created an atmosphere of mistrust

Government of India does not intend to change the demography of Manipur, we want to make all efforts to stop infiltration and establish peace, politics should not be done on this subject

During the riots in Manipur in previous government, the MoS gave a statement and their Home Minister did not even speak and here I myself is asking again and again to give the statement, but they have kept the Parliament session on hold

Violence happened so many times in Manipur during the rule of the previous government but till date none of their Home Ministers stayed there, I myself stayed in Manipur for 3 days and MoS Shri Nityanand Rai continuously stayed there for 23 days

For almost 30 years, the politics of this country has been suffering from the issues of corruption, nepotism and appeasement

Indian democracy was surrounded by these three issues, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given preference to politics of performance by removing corruption, dynasty and appeasement and today development is helping the people to take decisions

Still corruption, nepotism and politics of appeasement are visible at some places, that is why today Shri Narendra Modi has given the slogan of Corruption Quit India, Dynasty Quit India, Appeasement Quit India

If corruption, nepotism and appeasement are eradicated from the country, then the new era ushered by Prime Minister Modi in the last 9 years will create the India envisioned by our freedom fighters much before 2047

Bringing no confidence motion exposes the character of parties and coalitions

We are in politics to establish the politics of principles, not to save power by any means

Shri Narendra Modi did not make any big promises but he wanted to eradicate poverty because he himself came from a poor family and became the Prime Minister of the country

They are neither farmer friendly, nor poor and backward class friendly, they are not worried about anyone except their family

The Modi government made arrangements to send Rs 2.40 lakh crore to the bank accounts of 14.5 crore farmers of the country, so that they do not have to take loans

During the Covid-19 period, PM Modi fought against the pandemic by taking everyone along with the spirit of federalism, the central, state governments and 130 crore people fought together against COVID-19 in India

Modi government also imposed lockdown and did not let anyone sleep hungry, we gave 5 kg of food grains per person per month to 80 crore people at the time of lockdown, which is being given even today

Formed National Commission for Backward Classes, gave constitutional recognition to backward classes, gave 10 percent reservation to economically weak section for the first time after so many year

The government is working for the welfare of the poor, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has taken many initiatives for the welfare of the poor, and they refer to Shri Modi as 'Dinmitra' and see a friend in him

Shri Narendra Modi, who came from a poor family and became a successful Chief Minister, has worked to take the country's economy from 11th to 5th place in the world in last 9 years

Kashmir, LWE and Northeast are the three hotspots, there has been a significant change in our policies in Kashmir

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, since 2014 , the Government of India has worked continuously to free Kashmir from terrorism

Correcting the mistakes of earlier governments, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi took a historic decision to abolish Article 370 on August 5, 2019, and removed  'Do Vidhan, Do Nishan' from Kashmir

The three families that ruled over Kashmir did not hold Panchayat elections, but in 2018, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Panchayat elections were held in 9 phases, resulting in the election of 4,483 Sarpanchs and 35,000 Panchs

Modi government has brought policies like the Homestay Policy, Film Production Policy to boost tourism, and has opened new avenues for development, such as the Houseboat Policy and Industrial Policy and provided jobs to 20,000 people

We will neither discuss with Hurriyat, nor with Jamiat and Pakistan, we will discuss only with the youth of the valley

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the government of India by adopting a zero-tolerance policy has cracked down on the Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)

Today Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are free from Left Wing Extremism and only three districts of Chhattisgarh are to be freed from LWE and under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi this will be done very soon

Shri Narendra Modi with his whole heart, has done the work of connecting Northeast with India

Distance is not reduced by roads, railways and aeroplanes but by heart, Prime Minister Modi has reduced distance with Northeast and has brought Northeast into mainstream

In the last 9 years, PM Modi has been to Northeast more than 50 times, this shows that Northeast is a part of the country

Peace in the North-East is not merely on paper, but is driven by strategy, hard work, and dedication

Agreements have been made with organisations like National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), National Democratic Front of Bodoland, Karbi-Anglong, Adivasi Armed groups in Assam, and Dimasa National Liberation Army, resulting in the surrender of nearly 8,000 armed insurgents

Popular Front of India (PFI) was involved in activities aimed at destabilising the country, changing the demography, and spreading terrorism, in September 2022, ban was imposed on PFI through raids conducted in more than 90 locations across 15 states in a single day

56 individuals have been declared terrorists under the UAPA
