Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that people must decide if leaders should run governments while in jail.He introduced a new Constitutional Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha. The Bill says that a Prime Minister, Chief Minister, or Minister will be removed from office if they spend 30 days in jail.
Shah said this shows the Modi government’s strong stand against corruption. He added that citizens are also angry about corruption in politics.
He explained that the makers of the Constitution did not imagine such a situation. But recently, some Chief Ministers have been arrested and have continued to run their governments from jail without resigning.
“This Bill will ensure that no one can govern while in prison,” Amit Shah said.
