PM Modi’s Reply In Lok Sabha To Motion Of Thanks On President’s Address; Calls Congress Divided, Confused As MPs Walk Out

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 10 replied to the motion of thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha. From highlighting the increase in the number of women parliamentarians who took part in the proceedings to praising India’s medical fraternity for their COVID-19 efforts, he covered a range of topics in his address. He said, ‘No mandis were shut after the implementation of these laws, MSP did not end anywhere in the nation’. In a sharp dig at the Congress, PM Modi said its Rajya Sabha & Lok Sabha units move in opposite directions. He asserted that such a "divided" & "confused" party can neither do any good for itself nor can it think of any solutions for the country's problems. PM Modi's remarks came as members of the Congress in Lok Sabha, including former party chief Rahul Gandhi, walked out of the Lower House as he spoke on the three farm laws during his reply to the motion of thanks to the President for his address.
