On the new criminal laws, Home Minister Amit Shah said, 'The laws made by the British end from today.

Amit Shah said that new laws have been made by the Parliament of India. The new law will reduce the number of cases. Old sections have been removed and new sections have been added, which now emphasize justice instead of punishment. According to Indian law, till now every criminal was punished according to the Indian Penal Code. This Penal Code was made in 1860. At the same time, punishment will now be given under the Indian Penal Code, which was approved by the Parliament only last year. There are 511 sections in the Indian Penal Code (IPC). At the same time, there are 358 articles in the Indian Penal Code (BNS). The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 1898 had 484 sections. Now the Indian Civil Protection Code (BNSS) 2023 has 531 sections. The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 had 167 provisions. Now the Indian Evidence Act 2023 has 170 provisions.

Now there will be justice, not punishment

Speaking on the three new criminal laws, Home Minister Amit Shah said, “First of all, I congratulate all the countrymen that after almost 77 years of independence, our criminal justice system has become completely indigenous. It will work on Indian values. After 75, laws were discussed in these years and now instead of punishment, there will be quick justice and justice will be secured, but now the rights of the victim and the complainant will also be protected.
