Mamta Banerjee’s party TMC has arrested the JPC for considering three bills, including the PM-CM and the bill removing the ministers, arrested. The party said that it will not send any member in it.
In the monsoon session, the government introduced the Union Government (Amendment) Bill 2025, Constitution (one hundred and thirty-three amendments) Bill 2025 and Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization (Amendment) Bill 2025.
Both houses passed a proposal to send these Bills to a joint parliamentary committee (JPC), which would include 21 members of the Lok Sabha and 10 Rajya Sabha members. The committee will submit its report in the winter session.
However, in the Lok Sabha, when Union Home Minister Amit Shah proceeded to introduce the bill, there was an uproar, tore copies of the bills and thrown on Amit Shah.
Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the bills in the Lok Sabha on August 20, tore the copy of the bill and threw it on them.
Why three bills were opposed in Parliament
According to these bills, no person can be arrested as a minister of the Prime Minister, Chief Minister, Central or State Government from jail. In this bill, the accused politician has also been given a provision for taking bail from the court within 30 days of arrest.
If you are unable to get bail in 30 days, then on the 31st day they themselves will be disqualified legally. Either the Prime Minister at the Center and the Chief Minister in the states will remove him from posts. After the legal process, if such a leader gets bail, then he can again come to his post.
