BJP MP Rajyavardhan Rathore says, "I was at the 2008 Beijing Olympics (in China). We came to know that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are coming to meet us. They didn't come to meet us. They met the Communist Party of China. They should be tried for treason..."

“All the issues of the northeast were fueled by the Congress government. They let the foreign countries incite this violence,” Scindia in Lok Sabha.

“The country has shown them a door, now they are leaving the Lok Sabha too. They do not believe in their on no-confidence motion,” Scindia said as Opposition staged a walk out.

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia speaking against the no-confidence motion said, “They are neither ready to listen to the country's result which is clearly favouring the BJP nor they are ready to listen to MPs in the Parliament. Our PM spoke about Manipur outside the Parliament, but they want discussion inside the Parliament. Home Minister has time and against said we are ready for discussion, but they did not let the Parliament function for the past 17 days.”

Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury says "Jab Dhritrashtra andhe the, tab Droupadi ka vastra haran hua tha, aaj bhi raja andhe baithe hai... Manipur aur Hastinapur mein koi farq nahi hai"
