What is in the controversial bill?

The central government's move comes against the backdrop of controversies in the past when leaders like former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji continued to hold office despite being in jail.

The Bill states, “If a Minister, while in office, is arrested and detained on a charge of committing an offence punishable with imprisonment for five years or more for any period of 30 consecutive days, he shall, on the 31st day of such detention, be removed from his office by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister.”
