Constitution Amendment Bill 2025: Removal of PM, CMs and Ministers After 30-Day Custody – A Bold Step or Democratic Risk?
Constitution Amendment Bill 2025 has ignited a storm in Indian politics. The bill, introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah, proposes automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and Ministers if they remain in judicial custody for 30 days in serious offence cases. Now referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), the amendment is being hailed by supporters as a bold step for accountability, while critics warn it could undermine democracy and be misused against opposition leaders. The debate has raised sharp questions on law, governance, and India’s constitutional future.
