Government to Table Bills on Automatic Disqualification of Ministers if Arrested in Serious Cases

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to introduce three new criminal law bills in Parliament on Wednesday, August 20.

One of the key provisions specifies that if a prime minister, chief minister, or any minister is arrested in a serious criminal case and does not obtain bail within 30 days, they will automatically cease to hold their position.

The government argues that these new laws are designed to focus on justice rather than punishment, while also ensuring faster trial procedures.

All three bills are expected to be referred to the parliamentary standing committee for further review and recommendations.

Moreover, the government plans to introduce a regulatory framework for online gaming platforms, particularly targeting gambling-related activities.
