No TMC & SP MP in JPC on bill to sack 'tainted' ministers

The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram

|

August 24, 2025

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Saturday said it will not nominate any members to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) which will scrutinise the bill proposing dismissal of the Prime Minister, chief ministers, and ministers if they are arrested on serious charges and placed in custody for 30 consecutive days.

After the contentious bill was tabled in both Houses of Parliament this week, they were sent to a JPC comprising 21 members from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha for further scrutiny.

However, other partners of the Opposition bloc may not be fully on board with the TMC on not sending nominations to the panel. Speaking to this newspaper, a senior Congress leader said the party will deliberate with other Opposition members and take a final call on the matter soon. "We were waiting for a final decision from TMC. Now, we will discuss with other parties on this," he said.
