Amit Shah To Introduce 3 J&K-Linked Bills In Parliament On Wednesday To Tackle 'Tainted' Ministers
Last Updated: These bills will mandate the dismissal of a minister within 30 days of their arrest on corruption charges Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to introduce three bills on Wednesday aimed at addressing corruption allegations against incumbent ministers. The Home Minister will introduce the Union Territory Administration Amendment Bill, 2025, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, 2025, and the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill. These bills will mandate the dismissal of a minister within 30 days of their arrest on corruption charges. In section 54 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, after sub-section (5), the following sub-section shall be inserted: 'A minister who is arrested and detained in custody for any period of thirty consecutive days, on allegations of committing an offence under any law currently in force, punishable with imprisonment for a term of five years or more, shall be removed from office by the Lieutenant Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister, by the thirty-first day of being taken into custody." Similar sections are being included in the UT Act (Clause 5A to be added to Section 45) and the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill (Clause 5A to be inserted in Article 75 and Article 239Aa, Clause 4A to Article 164). 'The elected representatives embody the hopes and aspirations of the people of India. It is expected that they rise above political interests and act solely in the public interest and for the welfare of the people," the statement reads. It adds that the character and conduct of ministers holding office should be beyond any suspicion. 'A minister facing allegations of serious criminal offences, arrested and detained in custody, may undermine constitutional morality and principles of good governance, and ultimately diminish the constitutional trust reposed by the people in him." The statement further notes that since the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 (34 of 2019) lacks provisions for the removal of the Chief Minister or a minister arrested and detained on serious criminal charges, there is a need to amend section 54 of the Act to establish a legal framework for their removal in such cases. The listing of the bill has sparked intense speculation about the potential restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Centre to move constitutional amendment on UTs in Lok Sabha tomorrow, says report. Is J&K statehood on the cards?
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union government is likely to introduce the J&K Reorganisation Constitutional Amendment in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, 20 August, sparking yet another buzz about 'restoration of statehood' to the erstwhile state – Jammu and Kashmir. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has written to the secretary-general of Lok Sabha Utpal Kumar Singh notifying him that he intends to move a Union Territory Administration (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in the ongoing monsoon session of the parliament, according to a report in The Tribune. Some reports suggested it would be about statehood restoration, but there was no official confirmation about what the bill would be about. Other reports said it might as well be about reorganisation, not restoration of statehood. Jammu and Kashmir's statehood was annulled on 5 August 2019 after Article 370 was abrogated. The erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two Union Territories – J&K and Ladakh. The reports said Shah has also marked the letter for the Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, the legislative department of the Ministry of Law and Justice, the Lok Sabha Secretariat, and the legislative office of the Lok Sabha. Shah also wrote to the Lok Sabha's secretary-general to move an associated 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2025. The Supreme Court on 14 August sought the central government's response in 8 weeks on Jammu and Kashmir's statehood petition. It said the situation in J&K cannot be overlooked while emphasising the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, legal news website Bar and Bench reported. The situation in J&K cannot be overlooked. A Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran heard the petition filed by college teacher Zahoor Ahmed Bhat and activist Khurshid Ahmad Malik. The SC observed that the ground situation must be considered when restoring statehood. According to Bar and Bench, CJI BR Gavai said, 'You cannot ignore what happened in Pahalgam.' Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah responded to the buzz with a 'please I cant take this anymore GIF.' Abdullah had said on 5 August that he is optimistic about 'something positive' for the Union Territory during the ongoing parliament session, but not on Tuesday, amid buzz over the centre planning something on the Jammu and Kashmir 'statehood'.
