New Delhi: The Lok Sabha today saw a fierce debate between the ruling BJP and the Opposition over the no-confidence motion brought against the Narendra Modi government. From Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to BJP's Smriti Irani, the lower house of Parliament witnessed some heated arguments during the no-confidence motion debate.

The House was adjourned till 11 AM on Thursday, minutes after Union Home Minister Amit Shah concluded his nearly two-hour speech. While intervening in the debate on the no-confidence motion against the government, Shah said questioned the character of the opposition alliance, saying its true face was seen when it indulged in corruption to save its governments.

He also said when the then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee faced a no-trust vote in 1999, he chose to step down instead of indulging in corruption to save his government.

"The character of political parties and alliances is revealed in such times of crises. UPA's character is to indulge in corruption to save the government by hook or by crook, while the BJP-led NDA's character is to stand up to the principles," Shah said.

Amit Shah slams opposition parties 

Amit Shah said opposition parties do not have 'confidence' in the government, but the people of the nation think otherwise.

"Post-independence, if the nation has confidence in any leader, it is Narendra Modi who was elected twice with a complete majority. After 30 years, people elected a full majority government," the minister said.

Shah said he had heard the speeches of opposition leaders and has reached the conclusion that this no-confidence motion was brought in the House only to create confusion.

On the Quit India movement's anniversary, the prime minister has given the slogan -- 'Corruption Quit India, Dynasty Quit India and Appeasement Quit India', he said.

"Modi has ushered in a new era of politics since 2014, that of development which will lead to the creation of India of the dreams of our freedom fighters much before 2047," Amit Shah said.
