08 August, 01:15 pm: 'You can never be Savarkar'
The first speaker from the BJP's side was MP from Jharkhand, Nishikant Dubey.
Dubey took up the issue of Rahul Gandhi's disqualification, and Gandhi's refusal to apologise for his 'all thieves have Modi surname' remark.
Notably, Congress handles on social media had claimed that Gandhi would 'not apologise' since he was 'not Savarkar'.
Dubey took strong exception to this and reminded Gandhi that he 'could never be Savarkar'. 'That man spent 28 years in jail and you compare yourself with him?'
8 August, 01:00 pm: 'Union of States'
Member of Parliament from Kaliabor, Assam, and Congress leader, Gaurav Gogoi initiated the debate on the motion of no-confidence in the Lok Sabha.
Towards the end of his speech, Gogoi considered it appropriate to conclude with the line: 'India, that is Union of States, we will protect'.
The Lok Sabha will today (8 August) take up the discussion on the No-Confidence Motion moved by the Opposition against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government.
The debate will take place over two days, on 8 and 9 August, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reply to the debate on 10 August.
This session is anticipated to last for 12 hours with around 6 hours and 41 minute allotted for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while the Congress party is granted around one hour and 15 minutes, reports Livemint.
Last week, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla accepted the no-confidence motion put forward by the opposition parties of the 'I.N.D.I.A' bloc.
Ahead of the debate on the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha, the Bharatiya Janata Party had called a parliamentary party meeting for Tuesday.
