Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday described the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill as a "Black Bill" to foist cases against political opponents in power and remove them.

The chief minister said the 30-day arrest meant the removal of an elected CM without any trial or conviction by a court. However, it was merely a diktat of the BJP.

In a social media post, the CM said: "The 130th Constitutional Amendment is not reform; this is a Black Day and this is a Black Bill. I strongly condemn this Bill, which strikes at the very root of democracy, and I call upon all the democratic forces to unite against this attempt to turn India into a dictatorship. The Union BJP government has decided to defile the Constitution and its democratic foundations by turning India into a dictatorship under the Prime Minister."
