This is not just a no-confidence in government motion, this is a have confidence in India motion."

“India has lost confidence in you (PM Modi). The spectacle of the prime minister of the greatest democracy bowing to religious Seers of a majority in the chamber of the new Parliament fills us with shame, police manhandling and filing FIRs against champion wrestlers fills us with shame, 50 Panchayat in 3 districts of Haryana issuing letters forbidding Muslim traders entering the state fills us with shame. 'Nafrato ki jung mein ab dekho kya kya ho gaya, sabziya Hindu hui aur bakra Musalmaan ho gaya'. One crony capitalist is not going to make a monkey out of India's regulators and Equity markets while we watch. Everyone asks if not Modiji then who? After this inaction on Manipur, India will say, anyone but Modi," she added.
Earlier in the day, Moitra also took a swipe at Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani said that not one word was heard from her when a BJP MP was accused of harassment and molestation by wrestlers and now 'she is talking about some flying kiss'.
