Amit Shah Attacks Rahul Gandhi’s Morality on Amendment Bill
Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for opposing the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025. The bill proposes automatic removal of Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers, or any minister who remains in custody for 30 consecutive days on charges punishable by five years or more.
Moral Standards and Political Shift
Shah drew a contrast between Rahul’s 2013 action—publicly tearing an ordinance that saved a convicted lawmaker—and his current opposition to the bill. Shah accused him of shifting moral ground and displaying “double standards,” particularly noting Rahul’s change in stance amid repeated election defeats.
Defending Constitutional Morality
Shah positioned the bill as a mechanism to restore political ethics and accountability, arguing that functioning governments should not operate from behind bars. He expressed confidence that members across parties—including within Congress—would recognize its value.
