Скачать или смотреть Govt Wants Powers to Remove CMs, Ministers Jailed for Over 30 Days. What Does This Mean? | The Quint

A Bill tabled by Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament on Wednesday, 20 August, proposed to give the Centre the power to remove any Chief Minister, State Cabinet Minister, or Union Minister who is facing criminal charges punishable by five years or more of imprisonment, and who has been under arrest for 30 days. Simply put, if a minister spends 30 days behind bars in a case in which the charges carry a punishment of at least five years, they will lose their office if the Bill becomes law.
Following uproar in the Lok Sabha, the Bill has been recommended for referral to a Parliamentary Standing Committee.
