The Constitution 130th Amendment Bill, 2025 is a step towards restoring public confidence in governance. It provides that if a sitting PM, CM, or Minister is arrested, they must secure bail within 30 days. Failure to do so establishes prima facie legitimacy of the arrest.

🚨 HUGE! Modi Govt is likely to move the proposed 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill during the upcoming Monsoon Session. The Bill seeks the automatic REMOVAL of a PM, CM or other public representatives if they remain under ARREST for 30 days or more in cases involving serious offences. — NDA currently has 318 MPs in the Lok Sabha. A two-thirds MAJORITY requires 360 MPs. Looks like the government is CONFIDENT of the numbers.

#WATCH | On opposition's allegations and criticism of 130th Amendment Bill, Union HM Amit Shah says, "In this country today, the number of NDA CMs is more. The PM is also from the NDA. So this bill does not raise questions only for the opposition. This raises questions for our CMs as well… There is a provision for bail for 30 days. If it is a fake type of case, then the country's High Court and Supreme Court are not sitting with their eyes closed. The High Court and Supreme Court have the right to grant bail in any case. If bail is not granted, then you will have to leave the post. I want to ask the people of the country and the Opposition, can a CM, a PM or a minister run their government from jail? Is it appropriate for the democracy of the country?..."

Very important point raised by Kanhaiya Kumar — BJP introduced a Constitutional Bill which has a provision to remove CM, ministers and even PM if they will be arrested for 30 days. So, why they brought an ordinance to protect CEC, PM can go to jail and CEC can’t? — Vote Chori

If anti-gunners in Congress are crying over the appropriations bill, that tells you everything you need to know. This bill is a major step toward restoring the Second Amendment. Congress should pass it immediately.

Today in Parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three crucial bills— 1. Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025 2. Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025 3. Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025 Their purpose is clear—no corrupt leader should be allowed to run a government from jail. Constitutional morality does not allow corrupt leaders to run governments from jail. But Congress is opposing them. Remember 1975, when Indira Gandhi pushed through the 39th Constitutional Amendment to protect herself and her corrupt ministers from the judiciary. Today, PM Narendra Modi Ji’s ( Narendra Modi) government says—In this country, government cannot be run from prison. Yet Congress in 2025 is repeating the same as 1975. Even the Supreme Court 2013 (Lily Thomas case) case had ruled that any MP or MLA convicted for two years or more loses membership immediately. The core of our Constitution is morality—and that is exactly what these bills seek to uphold: No corrupt politician can govern from behind bars. #ConstitutionalAmendmentBill

Jazz's CEO has publicly come out in support of an unconstitutional bill. This is not merely a matter of the bill's wording or drafting, it is a question of fundamental human rights guaranteed under Articles 23 and 24 of the Constitution of Pakistan. Aamir Hafeez Ibrahim's demands should not be accommodated if they are inconsistent with the Constitution. No individual's or company's preferences can override constitutional protections. Issues such as fiberization and digitization are important and should certainly be addressed, but they must be resolved within the framework of the Constitution and the law, not by curtailing citizens' fundamental rights.

The Taoiseach and Tánaiste need to take responsibility for the chaos in the international protection system that is happening on their watch - a broken system, long delays, failure to enforce deportations, and massive profiteering in the provision of IPAS accommodation. We need a fair system where the public can have confidence that the rules are applied and enforced.

It is not solely the unlawful arrest that is so alarming. It is police believing they can act with impunity. Listen to the casual arrest threat levelled at a member of the public who questions the legitimacy of their actions. This is authoritarianism. Dangerous times.

What objection can there be in placing it before the House? I had made it clear that we will hand it over to the joint committee of both the Houses... Secondly, when it is put to vote, you can express your opinion. It is a constitutional amendment, a two-third majority is required in both Houses. Whether we have (two-third majority) or not, it will be proved at that time." "Is it right in a democracy to not allow any government bill or constitutional amendment to be presented in the House and to behave in this manner? Are both the Houses of the country's parliament for debate or for noise and uproar? We have also held protest over various issues but I do not believe the mentality of not allowing the bill to be presented is democratic. The opposition will have to answer the public..."

ELON: DON'T LET THE RISK OF FAILURE STOP YOU “I think failure is bad. I don't think it's good. But if something's important enough, then you do it, even though the risk of failure is high. And so, my advice if somebody wants to start a company is they should bear in mind that the most likely outcome is it's not going to work, and they should reconcile themselves to that strong possibility. And they should only do it if they feel that they are really compelled to do it.” Source: Computer History Museum, January 2013

The problem isn’t with allowing the homeless to live in our public spaces, the problem is they are allowed to do whatever they want within that space. If anybody reading this who is not homeless, did the identical thing in a public space they would he fined and/or arrested.

Article 25 of the Constitution grants the right to practice religion. They were simply offering prayers. They weren't bothering anyone.

Professor Lovemore Madhuku in his Own Words Making the Case for Parliament to Indirectly Elect the President as an Electoral College: “We must not put in the Constitution of the country a provision that is dependant on what happens in a political party. That’s the point I’m making. We must never say in our Constitution of Zimbabwe that if a sitting President dies or resigns, we will wait to hear what the political party of that President is saying. No. That is not the best way of running a country. Political parties remain the preserve of those people who are in those political parties. But the country is run on the basis of either an election by the people—direct election—or you have Parliament as an institution sitting as an electoral college. Where parties have influence, they must do the influence within Parliament, but never to allow the political party to sit there to say I’m giving you this President, and so forth. That’s the point I’m making. And on that point, I’m making it right across the world; that’s what they do.” - Professor Madhuku, addressing a “Heal Zimbabwe Trust” public meeting in Harare on 22 February 2020. COMMENT: Professor Lovemore Madhuku’s 2020 remarks make a clear, powerful and enduring case for Clause 3 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) H.B.I. Bill, 2026. This clause replaces the direct election of the President with an indirect election by Parliament sitting jointly as an electoral college; both after every general election and, when necessary, to fill any vacancy in the office of President. The current direct election of the President was first introduced in anticipation of a legislated one-party-one-man rule through Constitution Amendment No. 7, Act 1987 in the old Lancaster Constitution repealed in 2013. Professor Madhuku put it plainly: The Constitution should not—as it currently does— depend on the internal decisions of a political party to select a successor to the President of the country. When a sitting President dies, resigns or is removed, the nation should not have to wait and hear what that President’s political party “is saying.” That is not a constitutionally proper way to run a country. Political parties exist for their own members. The country, however, belongs to all Zimbabweans. The proper solution is straightforward: Parliament—the institution chosen by the people—should act as the electoral college. Inside that open forum, parties may exercise their influence transparently and accountably. No party should ever stand outside the Constitution and simply “give” the nation its next leader. This principle is not abstract. Worldwide, presidential by-elections to fill mid-term vacancies are extremely rare. Most stable presidential systems instead use automatic succession by a deputy or, increasingly, allow the legislature to elect a successor who serves out the remainder of the term. These arrangements place national continuity and stability above partisan interests. Clause 3 of the Bill follows exactly this proven path. By giving Parliament the clear duty to elect the President—whether at the start of a new term or in an unforeseen vacancy—Zimbabwe will secure stronger democratic stability, and keep the highest office firmly within the people’s constitutional framework rather than the private control of any single party. In short, Clause 3 is a mature, practical and principled reform that directly honours Professor Madhuku’s wise 2020 counsel. As such, it deserves the full support of every well-meaning Zimbabwean who values good governance, democratic constitutionalism, institutional integrity and the long-term strength of the country’s democracy in the national interest!
