NEW DELHI: (Aug 20) Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday slammed the new bills that provide for the removal of the prime minister or chief ministers arrested on serious criminal charges as “draconian” and “undemocratic”.
Slamming the Centre, she said by bringing such bills the BJP government is just trying to pull the wool over the eyes of people.
“It as a completely draconian thing. It goes against everything and to couch it as a measure which is taken as anti-corruption is just to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. Because, what it basically allows a government to do is — You don’t even have to be convicted,” she told reporters in Parliament complex.
