On August 21, 2025, Home Minister Amit Shah revealed via a post on X that Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed modifications to the draft of the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, ensuring that he would be covered by its provisions.
This step underscores Modi’s commitment to transparency and accountability by willingly placing himself under the legal framework of the new amendment.
In parallel, Shah criticized opposition parties for resisting the reform, accusing them of wanting to remain above the law. He contrasted their opposition to Modi’s move as hypocritical and emphasized that the public should decide whether it is appropriate for government leaders to continue in their roles if arrested.
