Parliament Drama Over Bills To Sack Jailed PM, CMs; Oppn Cries 'Police State' | India Today

The Home Minister introduced three amendment bills in Parliament, sparking significant controversy. The proposed legislation could lead to the removal of a Prime Minister, Chief Minister, or any minister jailed for 30 consecutive days in a case that attracts a five-year prison term, even without a conviction. Opposition parties strongly protested the move, leading to fiery exchanges in the House. Critics argue the bills would turn India into a police state, with one leader stating, “You are innocent until proven guilty. This bill stands that fundamental maxim of jurisprudence on its head.” The session saw members tear up copies of the bills in protest. The legislation has now been referred to the Joint Parliamentary Committee and requires a two-thirds majority to become law. #parliament #indianpolitics #amendmentbill #itwebvideos #homeminister #opposition #loksabha #democracy #policestate #constitution #lawandorder #politicalnews #indiatoday #accountability #federalism #newbills
