New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a strong endorsement of three new criminal laws during the inauguration of the e-evidence, Nyay Setu, Nyay Shruti, and e-Summon systems in Chandigarh on Sunday. Shah highlighted that these laws, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), are designed not for punishment but for delivering justice, marking a significant shift in India's legal framework.
Shah emphasized that these laws, crafted by Indian representatives and passed by the Indian Parliament, represent a break from the colonial legal system imposed by foreign rule. "How can a nation be considered independent if its criminal justice system was established by another country's Parliament? These laws are Indian, designed to ensure justice rather than merely serving as a penal code," he stated.
The Home Minister predicted that the full implementation of these laws would result in India having one of the most modern and technologically advanced criminal justice systems globally. He noted that the Home Ministry is investing in training and skill-building to support this transformation.
In addition to discussing the new criminal laws, Shah also targeted the opposition INDIA bloc, suggesting they should brace themselves to remain in the opposition through the 2029 elections. He expressed confidence that the NDA, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would secure victory in the next general elections.
Shah criticized the opposition for attempting to destabilize the government and assured that the current administration would complete its term successfully. He also emphasized that the BJP’s recent election performance had surpassed the combined results of the Congress over the past three elections, reinforcing his confidence in the NDA's continued success.
