Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation at a special event organized in Chandigarh and said that with the success of the new criminal laws and their effective implementation, India has now entered a new era in the judicial system. On this occasion, the Prime Minister not only praised the new laws, but also made it clear that their purpose is to truly implement the spirit and basic spirit of the Indian Constitution.
End of old laws made after the 1857 revolution
Prime Minister Modi said in his address that laws like the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Indian Evidence Act (IEA) were implemented after the first war of independence of 1857. The purpose of these laws was to maintain the rule of the British and control the Indians. Modi described these laws as laws arising from the “mentality of slavery”. He said that these laws were not made to serve Indians, but to exploit them.
New laws: Based on the basic principles of democracy
The three new laws that have now been implemented — Indian Justice Code (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), Indian Civil Security Code (Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) and Indian Evidence Act (Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam) — aim to create a justice system based on the principle of ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’. The Prime Minister also said that these new laws will ensure justice for every citizen of the country, especially the poor and the underprivileged sections, and provide equal rights to all before the law.
Common public’s trust in the law
Prime Minister Modi also said that now every poor will have the confidence that the law of the country is with him, not against him. Earlier, where laws were a symbol of fear and burden, now the same laws will become a guarantee of justice, equality and security. Modi also mentioned that the role of the victim has been kept at the center in these new provisions. Now the law and order will give priority to the dignity and rights of the victim, not the criminal.
Inclusion of technology and transparency in the judicial process
During the program, the Prime Minister watched a live demonstration, which demonstrated how these new laws will be implemented. He described this process as transparent, technology-rich and ensuring speedy justice. This indicates that the government is moving towards making the execution of cases in the courts more effective with the help of technology.
Comprehensive reform in the judicial structure
Prime Minister Modi also said that this is not just a matter of implementing three new laws, but it is a sign of a comprehensive reform in the Indian judicial structure. This change is not just in name, but is also related to work, process and intention. He believes that India is now moving towards providing justice in accordance with its own laws and its culture.
Cultural freedom and freedom from mental slavery
This change is a symbol of freedom not only from legal but also from cultural and mental slavery. The old laws lacked Indianness, they were made from a foreign perspective. The Prime Minister said that now our laws reflect the soul of our culture, our thinking and our justice system.
Conclusion: Judicial vision of New India
This statement of Prime Minister Modi is an indication that India now wants to become self-reliant and independent not only in the economic or technical field, but also in the justice system. This change will be seen not only in the words of the laws, but in their implementation and results. A system in which every citizen is confident that if injustice is done to him, the law will stand in his favor.
With the new laws, India is now moving in the direction where justice will not be just a process, but will become a sensitive and effective service – for the people, by the people, and in accordance with the sentiment of the people.
