BJP pushes Women’s Reservation law, delays ministers' arrest bill, angering opposition
Postponing a bill to remove corrupt ministers normalizes abuse of power.
Sources indicate that the BJP-led Union government prioritizes passing the Women’s Reservation law and Delimitation Bill, deferring the 130th Constitution Amendment Bill aimed at removing ministers arrested for serious offences. Opposition parties like DMK and NCP(SP) oppose this contentious bill, leading to its postponement in the Joint Committee meeting on Friday. The committee seeks wider consultations to address concerns over potential misuse of the law, aiming to incorporate safeguards against abuse while maintaining accountability measures.
