Govt likely to push PM-CMs jail bill in upcoming monsoon session

Parliament is set to debate the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, in the upcoming monsoon session.

While the core provision is likely to be retained, the joint parliamentary committee may suggest safeguards against misuse and clarify the nature of offenses covered.
