Oppn must explain why it is against bills on jailed PM, CMs & ministers, says Shah

Union home minister Amit Shah on Monday said the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025 that seeks to remove the Prime Minister, chief ministers or ministers facing corruption or serious offence charges if they remain in detention for 30 consecutive days is not driven by political vendetta and the opposition needs to explain why they are against an attempt to ensure morality in public life.

Oppn must explain why it is against bills on jailed PM, CMs & ministers, says Shah

“I want to ask the opposition should any PM, CM or any minister be in jail and run the government from there... is it befitting democracy?” he said in an interview to news agency ANI. Targeting AAP leader and

former Delhi CM, Arvind Kejriwal, Shah said a “new trend has emerged” where leaders do not step down on moral grounds pending inquiry but choose to run governments from jail. His reference was to Kejriwal’s arrest in the now scrapped liquor policy. The former CM spent over five months in jail.
