Parliament Extends Deadline for PM, CM Removal Bill Review
The Indian Parliament has a special group that is looking at a new law.
This law would let the country remove the prime minister or a chief minister if they are jailed for 30 days in a row for serious crimes.
The group was supposed to finish its report soon, but the Parliament decided to give them more time.
They will now finish the report by the first day of the last week of the Winter Session.
This change shows that the lawmakers want to think carefully about the new law.
Joint parliamentary committee on Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, received extension to submit report.
The bill would allow removal of a prime minister or chief minister if jailed for 30 consecutive days on serious charges.
Lok Sabha passed a resolution extending deadline to the first day of the last week of the Winter Session.
The committee had originally been due to submit its report earlier in the session.
The extension reflects ongoing debate over the bill's implications for executive accountability.
