The opposition, which had been demanding since the start of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 20 that the Manipur violence should be discussed under Rule 267 has piped down. It had also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should make the opening remarks which will be followed by the discussion. However, now they are ready for a short duration discussion under Rule 176. They have also done away with their demand over the PM initiating the discussion. They have now offered a middle path.
