<h1>Parliamentary committee to review bills removing PM, chief ministers and ministers after 30 days' detention for 5+ year offences</h1> Three government bills were introduced to remove the prime minister, chief ministers and ministers from office if they are arrested and detained for 30 consecutive days on offences punishable by at least five years' imprisonment; the measures were referred to a parliamentary joint committee for scrutiny. Opposition leaders protested in the chamber, alleging the measures are unconstitutional, politically motivated and intended to distract from other controversies and a joint opposition vice-presidential candidacy. Parliamentary debate was riven by protests and claims the session was largely unproductive, with critics saying the late introduction of the bills prevented meaningful scrutiny.
