Several Opposition MPs in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha moved notices in their respective houses to discuss the firing incident in Nagaland in which at least 13 civilians died. Congress MPs Manickam Tagore and Manish Tewari have given adjournment motion notices in Lok Sabha over the matter, while Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha gave suspension of business notice "to discuss the matters related to the killing of innocent civilians in Nagaland".

"I hereby give notice of my intention to ask for leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the business of the house for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent importance, namely: in an unfortunate event in Nagaland's Mon district, six civilians were killed in an encounter meant to intercept militants. In the violence that followed, another 7 civilians lost their lives and a soldier was also killed. The incident demands an urgent discussion in the House. Thus, I wish to raise the same in the House," Manish Tewari's adjournment motion notice read.
