RSP MP N.K. Premachandran accuses the government of hastily introducing the Constitution Amendment Bill, 2025, bypassing proper circulation among members. The bill aims at significant constitutional changes. Amidst opposition uproar, it was referred to a Joint Committee. Key amendments impact leadership stability in cases of serious criminal charges.

In a scathing critique, Revolutionary Socialist Party MP N.K. Premachandran lambasted the government for hastily introducing the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025. Addressing ANI, he described it as 'bulldozing of legislation' because the draft was not distributed among members.

Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah tabled three bills, including the primary amendment and another concerning Jammu and Kashmir. Amid tensions, opposition members showed their dissent by tearing copies of the bills in the Lok Sabha.

The contentious amendment aims to alter the basic structure of the Constitution, while providing legislative frameworks for leadership removal in cases of serious offenses. The bills have been sent to a Joint Committee after objections from opposition and concerns over procedural lapses.
