Kapil Sibal calls for 10-year ban on politicians switching parties mid-term
Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal urged the government to impose a ten‑year prohibition on legislators who defect to another party before completing their term. He argued that such mid‑term switches erode accountability to voters and disrupt internal party discipline. Sibal suggested legal measures to deter opportunistic party hopping and strengthen democratic responsibility and promote stability in parliamentary politics.
