Law proposed to fire ministers facing trial
Gulf Today
|August 21, 2025
NEW DELHI: India’s government introduced a bill on Wednesday to remove top politicians if they are arrested and detained for 30 days, which opponents called a "chilling" bid to crush constitutional safeguards.
-
Several of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's opponents have faced criminal investigation or trial in recent years, including two state chief ministers last year.
They include Arvind Kejriwal, then chief minister of the capital Delhi, who spent several months in jail on accusations that his administration received kickbacks from the allocation of liquor licenses.
He denied any wrongdoing and characterised the charges as a political witch hunt by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
