Controversial Bills Spark Fierce Debate in Lok Sabha

In a dramatic session of the Lok Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three contentious bills aimed at removing top officials under arrest for serious charges exceeding 30 days. The move incited fierce protests from opposition members, who alleged the bills were unconstitutional and ripe for political misuse.

Shah defended the proposals, arguing for the need to uphold moral values in public office. Despite opposition claims of a threat to federalism and the presumption of innocence, Shah's bills were forwarded to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for detailed examination.

As opposition MPs vigorously opposed the move, tearing copies of the draft in protest, Shah maintained that the bills, which necessitate significant parliamentary support, could address prolonged controversies involving high-profile arrests.
