How can ministers move legislation on policy matters when no-confidence motion is pending, asks Manish Tewari

NEW DELHI: Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday questioned the Narendra Modi government over moving legislation and substantive business on policy matters such as the statutory resolution for increasing the import duty on LPG after Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla has admitted the no-confidence motion moved by the opposition and a debate is pending on it.

In a tweet, the Lok Sabha MP from Anandpur Sahib in Punjab, objected to the statutory resolution on hiking import duty on LPG and said, “Rule 198 (2) that gives honourable @loksabhaspeaker Sh @ombirlakota 10 days to schedule a discussion on the motion of no confidence in the Council of Ministers must be interpreted harmoniously in conjunction with Article 75 (3) of the Constitution of India that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of the people.”
