"Unrest in any northeastern state affects country..." Cong MP Manish Tewari in Lok Sabha 

New Delhi [India], August 8 (ANI): Pointing towards the prevailing situation in violence-hit Manipur, Congress Lok Sabha MP Manish Tewari on Tuesday said that when there is unrest in any northeastern state it affects the entire northeast region and the country. 
The Congress MP was speaking in the Lok Sabha during a no-confidence motion debate moved by the I.N.D.I.A bloc against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government. 
The no-confidence motion was moved by Congress Party MP Gaurav Gogoi on July 26 and was accepted by Speaker Om Birla. 
During his address, the Congress MP said, "When this republic of ours was being formed, special provisions were made to connect the border states with India in a stronger and organized way, including Article 370 for Jammu and Kashmir, and Articles 371 A, 371 B, 371 C, 371 F, 371 G, 371 H for Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Sikkim, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh respectively. And because Manipur shares its boundary with Myanmar on one side and with the states of Nagaland, Assam, and Mizoram on the other side. So, when there is any unrest in any northeastern state it affects the entire northeast region and the country."
"A clear example of this is that because of the unfortunate incidents that have happened in Manipur and are going on even today, calls have been made in Mizoram that the natives of Manipur should leave... I mean to say that when there is any unrest in any northeastern state its negative impact is upon the entire northeast region and the country," he reiterated.
The debate on the no-confidence motion was initiated by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, with heated exchanges between the opposition and treasury benches.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing his second no-confidence motion in Parliament today, the first in his second term as the PM.
However, Modi's government won't lose the vote as his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies have a majority in parliament.
But opposition leaders say the debate will force Modi to speak on ongoing ethnic clashes in Manipur state.
Any Lok Sabha MP, who has the support of 50 colleagues, can, at any point of time, introduce a motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers.
Thereafter, a discussion on the motion takes place. MPs who support the motion highlight the government’s shortcomings, and the Treasury Benches respond to the issues they raise. (ANI)
