New Bills in India: Concerns and Concerns

• The Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill and related Bills, tabled in the Lok Sabha, aim to enforce constitutional morality and address political corruption.

• However, these bills are troubling legislation that arrogates to the Executive expanded and concentrated state power, shrinking safeguards, checks and balances, and violating federal autonomy.

• The Bills require ministers, including chief ministers and the Prime Minister, to resign or lose their office if they are arrested and remain in custody for 30 consecutive days, for an offence punishable by five years or more in jail.

• This proposed automatic removal on unproven charges marks a departure from the established principle of disqualification only after conviction.

• The Bills add to the dubious arsenal of the Centre’s ruling party, as the executive has shown little compunction in weaponising central agencies to target political opponents.

• The call for ministers to resign before being sent to jail in cases of corruption is a political one, not a matter between the political party and the politician, and then between the politician and the people.

• The judicial process is infamously prone to delays, but short-circuiting the due process of law, overturning the principle of innocent till proved guilty, and handing untrammelled power to the ruling establishment at the Centre is not the answer.

• The argument that “the people” will decide if their ministers should run the government from jail is a cynical framing that subverts people’s rights in their own name.
