Amidst vigorous sloganeering by a resurgent Opposition, Prime Minister Modi addressed the Assembly, stating, "I can understand the pain of some people. Even after spreading lies, they tasted defeat." PM Modi's speech was repeatedly interrupted by chants of "Tanashahi nahi chalegi" (Dictatorship will not prevail) and "Justice for Manipur." PM Modi began speaking on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in the Lok Sabha at around 4:00 pm. Ahead of the proceedings of the Parliament session today, MPs from National Democratic Alliance converged for a meeting in Parliament premises. "People gave us mandate for stability, continuity; NDA scored unprecedented success in 4 state polls as well," PM Modi in Lok Sabha. "The remarks by Congress leaders have left behind dialogues of Sholay film. You all must remember the 'Mausi' from the film Sholay... (PM enacts to take a jibe at Congress)," said PM. "I would like to tell Congress people not to suppress the mandate by celebrating fake victory," he added.
Participating in the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the president's address, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav stated that his party's victory in Faizabad was perhaps the wish of Lord Ram. He called June 4, the day the Lok Sabha poll results were declared, as the day of independence from communal politics for India.

On July 1, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP in the Lok Sabha, accusing the leaders of the ruling party of dividing people on communal lines, drawing massive protests from the treasury benches, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi slamming the Congress leader for calling the entire Hindu community violent.
Besides Modi, who intervened twice, at least five cabinet ministers interjected during Gandhi's speech that lasted for about an hour and 40 minutes, with Home Minister Amit Shah demanding an apology from him. The Congress leader was speaking during the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the president's address to a joint sitting of Parliament. Holding up pictures of Lord Shiva, Guru Nanak, and Jesus Christ, he referred to Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, Buddhism and Jainism to underline the importance of fearlessness.
“The abhay mudra is the symbol of Congress,” he stated, “It dispels fear and accords divine protection and bliss." He contrasted this with what he perceives as the BJP’s emphasis on violence and hatred, challenging their claim to Hindu identity. “Aap Hindu ho hi nahi (You are not Hindu),” he asserted, questioning their alignment with the true values of Hinduism which he identified as non-violence and truth. “All our great men have spoken about non-violence and finishing fear... But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth,” he said.
