'Nyay' instead of 'dand': Amit Shah details 3 new criminal laws

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday stated that the new criminal laws that came into effect today have ended the era of British laws in India, converting the criminal justice system into 'completely Swadeshi'. He noted that these laws are in accordance with the spirit of our constitution. Once their implementation is completed, they will stand as the most modern set of laws, he added. "I would like to congratulate the people of the country that about 77 years after independence, our criminal justice system is becoming completely 'Swadeshi'. This will function on Indian ethos. After 75 years, these laws were contemplated upon and when these laws are in effect from today, colonial laws have been scrapped and laws made in the Indian Parliament are being brought into practice," he said.
