Opposition raised the issue of bulldozer justice

After the new law came into force, the opposition criticized the impending justice by bulldozing the houses of the accused in some other states including UP. Congress and other opposition parties alleged that the new laws were implemented by the government in a hurry without adequate discussion. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote on social media that the three laws that came into force on Monday were forcibly implemented after 146 MPs were taken out of the House.
