An Adjournment Motion is a procedural device used in Parliament to draw the attention of the House to a definite matter of urgent public importance, having serious consequences, and to discuss that matter by interrupting the normal business of the House. The motion requires the support of 50 members to be admitted in the Lok Sabha. A Calling Attention Motion is also used for discussing matters of public importance but does not involve suspending the regular business. A Privilege Motion is moved when there is a breach of parliamentary privilege. A No-Confidence Motion is to remove the government.
