Home Minister Amit Shah has reportedly introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday for the removal of prime minister, chief ministers and ministers under arrest for 30 consecutive days on serious charges. Of course, Shah has now referred these three bills to a joint parliamentary committee for a relook after coming under fire from opposition MPs who tore up copies of the draft law in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday and marched close to his seat shouting slogans. Several Chief ministers of non-NDA states have stood up against the proposed legal framework, which comes at a time when the Opposition has been making headlines with “vote theft” allegations. The argument being cited against the bills is straight: Sacking anyone over mere allegations and arrest, before they are even held guilty, would be against the Constitution. Well, Amit Shah himself has spent over three months in the Sabarmati Central Jail, Gujarat following his arrest in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case way back in 2010. Shah should himself resign first rather than teaching the opposition leaders about morality.
