On August 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government defeated the opposition’s no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha.
After that, Prahlad Joshi, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, stated that Congress party MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury repeatedly interrupted the PM and other ministers and made baseless charges in his speeches. He then moved a motion that the House refer the “gross, deliberate and repeated misconduct” of Chowdhury to its Privileges Committee for further examination.
