On the 20th day of the Parliament Monsoon Session, Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three new bills in the Lok Sabha.
Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday introduced in the Lok Sabha contentious bills that propose that a sitting minister, chief minister or even the prime minister can lose their position within a month if they are arrested or detained for 30 days straight over an offence that carries a jail term of five years or more.
The move to introduce the bills was opposed by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi, following which Opposition’s sloganeering ensued, prompting Lok Sabha speaker to adjourn the proceedings till 3 pm.
The Jammu and Kashmir Amendment bill introduced by Shah aims to make changes to the existing Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act. The amendment is expected to address certain issues and concerns that have arisen since the reorganisation of the region in 2019.
The introduction of these bills by Home Minister Amit Shah has sparked a lively debate in the Lok Sabha, with members from various political parties expressing their views and opinions on the proposed legislation. The bills are expected to undergo further scrutiny and discussion before they are put to a vote.
Overall, the introduction of these bills reflects the government’s commitment to governance and accountability. It remains to be seen how the Parliament will respond to these proposed changes and what impact they will have on the political landscape in the country.
