Parliamentary Panel Defers Adoption of Report on Bill to Remove Detained PM and CMs
The Joint Parliamentary Committee examining the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, which proposes removing the Prime Minister, Union Ministers, and Chief Ministers detained for 30 consecutive days on serious charges, has deferred adopting its draft report. The decision followed disagreements among members, including ruling alliance MPs, and calls for broader stakeholder consultations. Five recommendations were under consideration, with voting paused midway. Opposition members who had submitted dissent notes withdrew them after the deferral. The bill is unlikely to be discussed in the upcoming Monsoon session amid ongoing deliberations and political sensitivities.
