New Delhi [India], July 26 (ANI): On the fifth day of the Parliament Monsoon session on Wednesday, several MPs from opposition parties have given notices in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, seeking a discussion on the Manipur issue, which has been a key reason for the continuous logjam in both Houses since the session commenced. 
In Lok Sabha, Congress MP Manickam Tagore has moved Adjournment Motion Notice demanding a discussion on the Manipur situation.
Opposition Rajya Sabha MPs Tiruchi Siva of DMK and RJD's Manoj Jha have moved Suspension of Business Notices under Rule 267 with the latter requesting the Upper House Chairman to suspend all other business, listed for the day including the Zero Hour as well as Question Hour and discuss the situation of the violence-hit state. 
Congress' Ranjeet Ranjan, Rajeev Shukla, and Aam Aadmi Party's Raghav Chadha have also proposed a similar notice in the matter. 
The Opposition's alliance-- Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance-- is planning to bring a no-confidence motion against the government in the Lok Sabha today, the Leader of the Opposition in Lower House Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said. 
The sources on Tuesday said that the opposition parties are weighing various options including a no-confidence motion as it would entail a reply from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and there will be a discussion on Manipur violence also.   
Meanwhile, as the Parliament reconvenes today at 11 am, Union Minister Jitendra Singh is to make a statement regarding the status of implementation of the Recommendations/ Observations contained in the 126th, and 127th Report of the Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice on Demands for Grants (2023-2024) pertaining to the Department of Personnel and Training, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will also move for leave to introduce a Bill further to amend the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. Union Minister Bhupender Yadav will also move that the Bill further to amend the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, as reported by the Joint Committee, be taken into consideration, according to Lok Sabha. 
In Rajya Sabha, the motion for election to the council of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore will be moved. 
Opposition members have resorted to protests and sloganeering in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, forcing repeated adjournments of the two Houses since the commencement of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 20.
The government has said it is ready for discussion on Manipur but the opposition parties are pressing for discussion under a rule which also entails voting.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has written a letter to two opposition leaders in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for debate on the Manipur issue, saying the government is ready for a discussion and "seeks cooperation from all the parties, rising above party lines". The Home Minister, who informed about the letters while replying to a debate on the Multi-State Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2022 in the Lok Sabha later informed about the letters in a tweet on Tuesday.
Twenty-six opposition parties had earlier this month named their alliance I.N.D.I.A. (ANI)
