Arrest 4-5 ministers & govt is gone: Owaisi on PM-CM removal Bills
The ruling government is working to pass the Constitution (130th) Amendment Bill, which aims to provide for the removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and ministers who have been arrested for a period of at least 30 days. However, the bill has been met with resistance from the opposition parties, including the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
Owaisi, known for his fiery speeches and sharp tongue, spoke out against the bill, terming it as a attempt to curtail the powers of the President and the Legislative Assembly. He claimed that the bill was designed to empower the Executive and marginalize the Legislative Assembly, which is the representative of the people.
Addressing the gathering, Owaisi said, “Just arrest four-five ministers, and the government is gone. This proposed bill is saying that the President can remove the Prime Minister. What is this?” He further added, “They are trying to create a autocratic system where the Executive will have all the powers and the Legislative Assembly will be powerless.”
Owaisi’s words were aimed at highlighting the potential dangers of the bill, which he believed would lead to a concentration of power in the hands of the Executive. He claimed that the bill would enable the ruling party to suppress the voice of the opposition and dissent, and that it would undermine the democratic principles of the Constitution.
Owaisi’s criticism of the bill was not limited to its provisions. He also took exception to the manner in which the bill was being pushed through. He claimed that the bill was not being debated in the House, and that the ruling party was using its brute majority to bulldoze it through the legislative process.
The AIMIM chief’s words are likely to resonate with the opposition parties, which have been criticizing the bill for its potential implications for the democratic system. The opposition parties have been maintaining that the bill was designed to curb the freedom of the opposition, and that it would enable the ruling party to silence dissent.
Owaisi’s criticism comes close on the heels of similar views expressed by other opposition leaders. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Minister Arun Jaitley, for instance, has also raised concerns about the bill, terming it as a “draconian” law.
The bill in question is aimed at amending the Constitution to provide for the removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and ministers who have been arrested for a period of at least 30 days. The bill is part of the government’s efforts to curb the growing trend of corruption and malgovernance in the country, and to prevent the Executive from becoming too powerful.
However, the bill has been criticized for its potential implications for the democratic system, with many arguing that it would lead to a erosion of the checks and balances in the system, and enable the ruling party to suppress dissent.
In conclusion, the arrest of four-five ministers and the removal of the government is what the AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi fears the Constitution (130th) Amendment Bill would lead to. He believes that the bill is a threat to the democratic system, and that it would enable the Executive to become too powerful at the expense of the Legislative Assembly.
The bill has been met with resistance from the opposition parties, which are terming it as an attempt to curtail the powers of the President and the Legislative Assembly. The AIMIM chief’s words are likely to resonate with the opposition parties, which are fighting to protect the democratic principles of the Constitution.
