OPINION | Modi’s attack on corruption: Jailed ministers must resign

Share
In a major step towards curbing corruption in politics, the government introduced three bills in Lok Sabha which provide for automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Minister and ministers in Centre, states and union territories, if they are sent to custody for more than 30 days on serious charges. The bills, moved by Home Minister Amit Shah, were referred to a joint parliamentary committee for review, even as opposition members created a ruckus inside the Lok Sabha.
