Opposition open to no-confidence motion against Modi government: Congress
New Delhi, July 2: The Congress on Monday indicated that the opposition could bring a no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government in the forthcoming monsoon session of Parliament, saying that there were many issues on which such a collective decision can be taken.
"I do not know in what form we will attack the government. But, we can corner the government on several issues related to the people," said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
"Jammu and Kashmir, weak economy, unemployment, plight of farmers and corruption...
"So, the government should be prepared for a no-confidence motion on the basis of any of these issues, if there is a collective decision," he added.
Singhvi also said that his party will expose the government on how it stalled the parliamentary proceedings during the budget session.
Replying to a query on Interpol issuing a red corner notice (RCN) against fugitive diamond jeweller Nirav Modi, Singhvi said: "We were surprised that after seven months of drum-beating, Red Corner Notice has been issued today.
"It would be a tremendous RCN that took about seven months. They blew the trumpet for so long that they were soon going to bring him back. But today, just the RCN was issued. One should know that this is just the beginning of the entire process."

Will let my work talk: Raghav Chadha in Instagram post amid rift with AAP
New Delhi (PTI): Sidelined AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Friday shared on Instagram a video titled "Voice Raised Price Paid", a compilation of clips of him raising various issues in Parliament, amid his ongoing rift with his party.
"With due respect, to those who are questioning my parliamentary performance, I will let my work do the talking," he said in the post.
The AAP on April 2 removed Chadha as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha and has accused him of shying away from raising his voice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre in Parliament and instead engaging in "soft PR".
A combative Chadha has dismissed the party's allegations as "lies" and said that he went to Parliament to raise people's issues and not to create ruckus.
Since his removal as the AAP's deputy leader in the Upper House, Chadha has shared several videos and posts on social media, making it clear that he will not take his demotion lying down.
