The Rajasthan Assembly which had been gripped with confusion and trails of the verbal rampage over the Rajasthan Bill, now the most controversial bill is now free from clutches of berate and debate. The Rajasthan Bill has now been sent to a select committee which will, in turn, decide its ultimate fate. However, what’s more interesting is the recent media interview of CM Raje after the Rajasthan Bill was subdued.
What necessitated the implementation of Rajasthan Bill?
On being asked to comment on the various allegations and why it’s implementation was the need of the hour, CM Raje shed light on the importance of the Rajasthan Bill. Out of all registered cases, 73% were found to be fake and baseless. These cases and allegations, irrespective of their falseness crush the minister’s confidence and takes a toll on his/her work efficiency.

FIR’s can be filed against biggest of ministers even after GAG bill
The rumours that FIRs could not be filed after Rajasthan Bill implementation were out to rest by CM Raje. She said that the bill doesn’t contain anything of this sort. FIRs can and would still be able to be filed, irrespective of the implementation of the GAG act. The FIR will still be filed, irrespective of the seniority of the minister or officer. Our aim is to maintain the freedom of media and also safeguard innocent ministers from false allegations. “Media’s freedom is the strength of Democracy,” CM Raje said.
She also reaffirmed her faith in the judicial system. All aspects and parameters are being scrutinised and examined by the select committee with full efficiency.
What happens in Cabinet, stays in the Cabinet?
On being questioned if bills are passed in discreet form, CM Raje counter questioned if anything in the cabinet can be done discreetly. The Rajasthan Bill was passed in September but was reported by media later. Even the much literate opposition woke up to this much later after the bill was passed.
No bar on FIR’s on magistrates/judges
It is our duty that we make fraudulent ministers realise that they are not above the law. Additionally, she also clarified that FIR’s on magistrates/judges is only restricted until the government approves of the same. “A six month period is given to the accused so he is given an opportunity of being heard and justify his actions.” It is nowhere written in the Rajasthan Bill that the ministers will be acquitted in the six-month duration.
The Rajasthan Bill is the usherance of transparent and infallible law which safeguards the right and punishes the wrong, thereby paying full regard to values like honesty and service.
