Opposition MPs confronted Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha and threw copies of the three bills, which seek to remove the Prime Minister or Chief Ministers who are facing allegations of corruption or serious offences and have been detained for 30 consecutive days.
Some Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs came to Shah’s chair and allegedly tried to push Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju. Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu allegedly got into a scuffle with them.

TMC Kalyan Banerjee alleged that Bittu pushed two opposition women MPs– Mitali Bag and Satabdi Roy. “The bill is unconstitutional. I did not do it (tore the copies of the bill), but whoever did it, I salute him. This bill is totally undemocratic. How can they amend Article 75, which is the basic structure of the Constitution?… The cases registered by ED, CBI are fake…We are against this bill…Union Ministers Ravneet Singh Bittu and Kiren Rijiju pushed two of our women MPs in the well…The BJP is committing atrocities against women… None of our MPs pushed any BJP MPs,” he claimed.
TMC MP Mitali Bag alleged that Rijiju and Bittu attacked her inside the Lower House of Parliament. “Rijiju and Bittu suddenly attacked her. First, Bittu attacked me, then Rijiju,” she added.
Meanwhile, TMC MP Mahua Moitra posted on X, “India watched how Amit Shah did not have courage to sit in his own seat to bring in his Unconstitutional Amendment. Even with 20 extra Marshalls protecting him he cowardly sat in 4th row- Jo Darr Gaya Samjho Marr Gaya!”

Meanwhile, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal demanded action against opposition MPs. “The entire country was watching how there was hooliganism…When the Home Minister has told the Speaker that the Bills should be sent to the JPC, there is no haste…But Congress MP KC Venugopal started tearing up copies of the Bills and throwing them to the Chair of the Speaker; TMC and Congress MPs entered the Well, they were adamant to pick up a fight…The more it is condemned, the less it is…Speaker should take action,” he said.
After the proceedings resumed in the Lok Sabha, opposition MPs continued their protests and raised slogans. Speaker Om Birla then said that this behaviour of MPs is not acceptable. “The whole country is watching you. A very important bill for our country. It’s a bill about principles. I am warning you to mend your way,” he added.
Earlier today, Shah introduced three bills– the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill 2025; the Constitution (One Hundred And Thirtieth Amendment) Bill 2025; and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2025– in Lok Sabha. The bills were later sent to the joint Parliamentary committee for further deliberation.
