Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing Monsoon Session 2025. The bills propose the removal of the prime minister (PM), chief ministers (CMs), and ministers who are arrested on serious criminal charges and remain in custody for over 30 days, reported PTI. The move sparked sharp protests from the Opposition, who termed the legislation unconstitutional and against the spirit of federalism.

Immediately after the Union Home Minister tabled the bills, Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Opposition rushed to the well of the House, shouting slogans and tearing copies of the draft legislation.

Leaders from several Opposition parties, including All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen’s (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi, and Congress’ Manish Tewari and KC Venugopal, opposed the introduction of the bills, arguing that the proposed legislation infringes upon constitutional provisions and disrupts the balance of power between the Centre and states, reported PTI.
