News Track Exclusive: Abhishek Manu Singhvi Calls Bill To Remove Arrested Ministers Unconstitutional

On News Track, the focus is on a controversial bill proposing that ministers and chief ministers lose their office if held under arrest for over 30 days. Congress MP and senior counsel Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi argues the bill is an unconstitutional measure with ulterior motives, designed to destabilize opposition-run state governments. He contends it dangerously empowers the executive, allowing for the removal of elected representatives based on a police arrest without trial or conviction. Singhvi states, "Constitutional morality is not upheld by Removing elected governments through a police constable acting under the Honorable Home Minister’s Department." He further explains the bill is an assault on federalism and the basic structure of the constitution, asserting that the current law, which disqualifies officials upon conviction, is adequate. The discussion also explores the balance between constitutional trust and the presumption of innocence. #abhishekmanusinghvi #congress #indianpolitics #itwebvideos #law #constitution #democracy #federalism #opposition #indianlaw #politicaldebate #arrest #constitutionalmorality #presumptionofinnocence
