130th Constitutional Amendment a 'Black Bill': TN CM Stalin
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday described the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill as a "Black Bill" to foist cases against political opponents in power and remove them.
The chief minister said the 30-day arrest meant removal of an elected CM without any trial or conviction by a court. However, it was merely a diktat of the BJP. This was how dictatorships begin; "steal votes, silence rivals and crush states." In a social media post, the CM said: "The 130th Constitutional Amendment is not reform — this is a Black Day and this is a Black Bill. I strongly condemn this Bill, which strikes at the very root of democracy, and I call upon all the democratic forces to unite against this attempt to turn India into a dictatorship.
