The Centre will introduce three constitutional amendment bills in the Monsoon session to mandate removal of the Prime Minister, Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, and State/UT Ministers if arrested on serious criminal charges. Under the proposal, any official in custody for 30 consecutive days for an offence punishable with five years or more will be required to step down or face automatic removal on the 31st day. The bills seek amendments to Articles 75, 164, 239AA, Section 54 of the J&K Reorganisation Act, and Section 45 of the UT Act, aiming to strengthen accountability in governance. (PC: NDTV)
