Important Parliamentary Motions and Resolutions

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Includes Adjournment Motion (for urgent discussion of a public matter), Censure Motion (against a minister’s specific actions), No-Confidence Motion (tests government’s majority), and Calling Attention Motion (highlighting an urgent issue needing government’s response). Private Member’s Resolutions allow non-minister MPs to propose legislative ideas or policy directions. Government resolutions can lay policy statements or international treaties. These motions/resolutions shape legislative accountability, allowing Parliament to direct or dismiss the executive. Their impact depends on House dynamics, party strength, and media attention. Mastery of these procedures clarifies parliamentary activism and the daily mechanics of how democracy holds the executive answerable.
