New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will move the Arms Amendment Bill for passage in Rajya Sabha which is scheduled on Tuesday.
The Lok Sabha on Monday had passed the Bill which seeks to increase punishment for illegally making or selling prohibited arms and ammunition.
“It is very necessary to effectively control arms and ammunition for safety and security and maintaining law and order in any country,” Shah said during his reply.
“The Bill provides seven years to life imprisonment for manufacturing and selling illegal weapons, seven to 14 years jail for possessing illegal weapons and life imprisonment for snatching the weapon of police personnel,” he said.
