  • Nishikant Dubey has moved a Substantive Motion against Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha.
  • A Substantive Motion is an independent and self-contained proposal placed before the Lok Sabha to seek a clear and binding decision of the House.
  • It is complete in itself and is not linked to any other business under discussion in Parliament.
  • When adopted, the motion represents the formal opinion or will of the House on a specific matter.
  • Under the Rules of Procedure of the Lok Sabha, the motion can be admitted only with the approval of the Speaker, Om Birla, who has the discretion to accept or reject it.
  • If admitted, the motion is debated in the House, put to a compulsory vote, and in some cases may be referred to a specially constituted committee for examination.
  • Substantive motions are not commonly used in routine political disputes and provide a formal parliamentary mechanism to consider matters involving constitutional posts such as the Leader of the Opposition.
