<h1>Bills require leaders detained 30 consecutive days for offences with five-year jail terms to vacate office on 31st day</h1> Three government bills propose that the prime minister, Union ministers, chief ministers or state/UT ministers who are arrested and detained for 30 consecutive days on offences punishable with at least five years' imprisonment would automatically vacate office on the 31st day, requiring amendments to the Constitution and the Government of Union Territories Act. Opposition parties contend the measures circumvent parliamentary scrutiny, centralise removal power, and risk politicising investigative agencies to unseat elected officials, arguing the bills undermine parliamentary democracy, federalism and proper legislative deliberation.
