Controversial Bills to Remove PM, CMs, Ministers with Serious Charges Introduced
TNT News Desk | The recently concluded Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament ended on a stormy note, with heated debates and political noise dominating the proceedings. A major development was the introduction of a set of controversial bills in the Lok Sabha aimed at enabling the removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and other ministers who face serious criminal charges.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah tabled these bills, which propose constitutional amendments that would allow swift action against elected representatives detained for 30 days or more on corruption or other grave offenses. Lawmakers supporting the bills argued that these measures are necessary to uphold the integrity of public office and restore public trust in governance.
However, the opposition strongly opposed the move, criticizing it as a politically motivated attempt to target dissenters and misuse the legal process. The session witnessed intense verbal clashes, interruptions, and walkouts, reflecting the polarized political atmosphere.
In addition to these bills, the House passed a significant legislation banning online gaming and betting apps, citing concerns about addiction and fraudulent practices, another move that sparked widespread debate.
The Speaker of the Lok Sabha was forced to intervene multiple times to restore order as the session drew to a close amid loud protests and demands for transparency.
Despite the uproar, the bills were referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for further scrutiny, signaling that the government is intent on pushing ahead with these reforms in upcoming sessions.
The Monsoon Session, already extended multiple times, was thus marked by high drama, legislative activism, and an unmistakable tension that underscores the challenges facing India’s democratic institutions as they attempt to address governance and accountability in a complex political landscape.
This session’s end leaves the political discourse charged, with the introduced bills set to be a key point of contention and public debate in the weeks ahead.### Controversial Bills to Remove PM, CMs, Ministers Facing Serious Charges Introduced as Monsoon Session Ends Amid Political Turmoil
The Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament concluded amid intense political uproar and heated debates after the government introduced a set of contentious bills in the Lok Sabha. Union Home Minister Amit Shah tabled constitutional amendment bills aimed at enabling the removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and other ministers who face serious criminal charges, particularly those detained for more than 30 days on corruption and other grave offenses.
Supporters of the bills argued that these legislative moves are essential to strengthen accountability and cleanse the political system of corrupt leaders. However, the opposition strongly criticized the government, accusing it of misusing legal provisions to stifle political dissent and undermine democratic norms.
The session was marked by loud disruptions, walkouts, and repeated interventions by the Speaker to maintain order. Alongside the removal bills, the House also passed a law banning online gaming and betting apps to curb addiction and fraudulent activities, which too generated vigorous debate.
Despite the uproar, the government pushed forward by referring the bills to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for further examination, indicating its resolve to pursue these reforms. The JPC is mandated to examine the three bills — the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025; the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025; and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025 — and submit its report by the last day of the first week of the next Parliament session, which is expected to be in the third week of November 2025.
The Monsoon Session’s conclusion reflects deep political polarization and the challenges of governance and legislative reforms in a vibrant democracy. The fate of the proposed bills and their impact on India’s political landscape remain a focus of intense public and parliamentary scrutiny as the government prepares for the upcoming sessions.
