What Union Minister has revealed about the bill,
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju told the news agency ANI, 'PM Modi told the cabinet that he has rejected the recommendations to keep the Prime Minister out of the bill. Prime Minister Modi refused to give any kind of exception to the post of Prime Minister. He said, "The Prime Minister is also a citizen of the country and he should not get special security."
He said, "Most of the chief ministers in the country are from our party. If they do anything wrong then they will have to give up their post. Ethics should also be important. If the opposition kept morality at the center of this bill, he would welcome it himself."
