Union Home Minister Amit Shah ne Wednesday ko Lok Sabha me teen important bills introduce kiye jo elected representatives – Prime Minister, Chief Ministers aur Union Ministers – ko unke post se remove karne ka provision banate hai agar wo serious criminal charges par 30 consecutive din tak arrest ya detention me rehte hai.
Ye bills hai:
- Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025
- Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025
- Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025
Amit Shah ne clarify kiya ki ye bills Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) ko refer kiye jayenge.
Opposition ne uthaya sawal
Bills introduce hote he House me zor-daar hungama huva. Opposition MPs ne BJP-led NDA par aarop lagaya ki sarkar in laws ke zariye non-BJP state governments ko destabilise karna chahti hai.
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi ne kaha ki ye bills “principle of separation of powers” ke against hai aur executive agencies ko unlimited power dete hai. Unhone warning di:
“Government is hell-bent on creating a Police State. Constitution ko amend karke elected governments par death nail giraya ja raha hai.”
Congress MP Manish Tewari ne bhi sharp criticism kiya aur bills ko “destructive” bataya. Unka kehna tha ki inke baad ek agency officer bhi Prime Minister par boss ban jayega. Tewari ne kaha:
“Rule of law ka basic principle hai ki aap guilty tab hote ho jab court prove kare. Ye bill us principle ko todta hai.”
Opposition MPs ne kiya protest
House proceedings ke dauran kuch opposition MPs ne bills ki copies phaad kar Amit Shah ki taraf fek di. Iske baad Speaker ne House ko 3 baje tak adjourn kar diya.
Objectives of the bills
Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025
Act, 1963 ke section 45 me ab tak aisa koi provision nahi hai jisse CM ya minister ko remove kiya ja sake agar wo serious criminal charges par custody me hai. Amendment ka maksad ye gap fill karna hai.
Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025
Articles 75, 164 aur 239AA me amendment karke framework banaya jayega jisme PM, Union Ministers, State CMs aur Ministers ko remove kiya ja sake jab wo custody me 30 din tak rahe.
Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025
J&K Reorganisation Act, 2019 ke section 54 me abhi tak CM aur ministers ki removal ki koi provision nahi hai. Amendment is legal framework ko laane ka objective rakhta hai.
Kya matlab hai in bills ka?
Agar ye bills pass hote hai to ek naya precedent set hoga jisme criminal charges me arrest ya detention ke baad top elected posts – chahe wo Prime Minister ho, Chief Minister ya koi Union Minister – automatically apni kursi kho denge.
Opposition ka kehna hai ki isse democracy weaken hogi aur agencies ke paas excessive power aa jayegi, jabki government ka argument hai ki ye step accountability aur clean politics ke liye zaroori hai.
