The Lok Sabha witnessed uproarious scenes on Wednesday as Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three contentious legislations—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—prompting opposition MPs to tear and fling copies of the bills towards the Treasury benches.

The bills, later referred to a Joint Committee of Parliament, seek to disqualify a Prime Minister, Chief Minister, or Minister if they face corruption or serious criminal charges and remain in custody for 30 consecutive days. The J&K Bill specifically amends Section 54 of the 2019 Reorganisation Act to enable the removal of the Chief Minister or Ministers under such circumstances.
