Chaos in Lok Sabha as Amit Shah moves Bill to remove tainted PMs, CMs

The Lok Sabha on Wednesday witnessed unprecedented chaos when Home Minister Amit Shah got up to introduce the Constitution 130th amendment bill in order to create a legal framework to enable removal of prime minister, union ministers, chief minister and ministers of state from office in case they have been arrested and detained consecutively for a period of 30 days for serious criminal offences.Just when Shah got up to introduce the bill opposition MPs led by Trinamool Congress party leader Kalyan Banerjee charged towards the Well of the House, tore apart the bills and threw copies of the bill, right at the face of Shah.

The chair and the presiding officer immediately adjourned the House until 3 PM.

Soon as Kalyan Banerjee and other TMC MPs charged towards Shah, MP Anurag Thakur Minister Ravneet Singh, Bittu and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju formed a protective Circle around the Home Minister. The House will now reassemble at 3 PM. Even after the house was adjourned, chaotic scenes were witnessed in the Well of the Lok Sabha with all the opposition MPs seen stopping just short of coming to blows with the ruling party MPs.

Both shouted “chor, chor (thief) at each other.

The bill along with similar bills to amend laws governing JK and other UTs was, however, introduced and sent to a joint panel of Parliament.

The opposition didn’t allow Shah to speak on the Bill.

When the House was adjourned, the Well and aisles were all littered with torn pieces of the bills.
