Indian Supreme Court removes immunity for MPs, MLAs from prosecution.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other political parties have welcomed the Indian Supreme Court's ruling that Members of Parliament (MPs) and Legislative Assembly members (MLAs) no longer enjoy immunity from prosecution for accepting bribes to make speeches or cast votes in the legislature. The court's decision overturns a 1998 verdict that granted immunity in such cases. This landmark decision aims to ensure clean politics and deepen people's faith in the system.
