discussion on a matter of urgent public importance is called :
a) Cut Motion
b) Adjournment Motion
O
c) No-Confidence Motion
O d)
d) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Option: A

The primary object of an adjournment motion is to draw the attention of the House to a recent matter of urgent public importance having serious consequences and in regard to which a motion or a resolution with proper notice will be too late. The matter proposed to be raised should be of such a character that something very grave which affects the whole country and its security has happened and the House is required to pay its attention immediately by interrupting the normal business of the House. The adjournment motion is thus an extraordinary procedure which, if admitted, leads to setting aside the normal business of the House for discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance.
