In the Lok Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah introduced a bill to be removed from the Chief Minister of the states to the Prime Minister of the country for being removed for 30 days, which has been sent to the Joint Parliamentary Committee after opposition from the opposition. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s first reaction has come on this bill.

What did Shashi Tharoor say on this bill?

Shashi Tharoor said that I have not yet read this bill, but initially I do not see anything wrong in this bill that the guilty people should resign from their ministerial post. If you spend 30 days in jail, can you remain a minister? This is a matter of common sense. Therefore, I do not see anything wrong in it. But if there is any other thinking behind this, then you will have to read this bill well. I am neither supporting this bill nor opposing it without studying.

If the bill was sent to JPC, what did Tharoor say?

On the question of sending the bill to JPC, Tharoor said, ‘If it is sent to JPC to discuss the bill then it is a good thing. I think it is necessary for our democracy that all subjects should be discussed within the committee.

Opposition is opposing this bill?

As soon as Amit Shah introduced this bill in the Lok Sabha, the opposition MPs created a ruckus on it. Even tearing copies of the bill, he bounced on Amit Shah. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has called it a very rigorous bill. He said, ‘Tomorrow you can file any case against any Chief Minister, keep him in jail for 30 days without his conviction and then he will not remain the Chief Minister? This is completely unconstitutional.

What was the provision among the bills on which there is a ruckus?

According to this bill, if the person sitting in the Prime Minister to any minister is kept in jail for 30 consecutive days in a criminal case, then he will have to resign on the 31st day, otherwise he will be removed from the post.
