'NYAY' INSTEAD OF 'DAND': AMIT SHAH SAYS NEW CRIMINAL LAWS ACCORDING TO SPIRIT OF CONSTITUTION

Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated on Monday that the new criminal laws that came into effect today have ended the era of British laws in India. 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.

"I want to congratulate the people of the nation that our criminal justice system has now become truly Indian and will operate based on the Indian ethos. Laws that were made by the British will no longer exist. Now, there is an Indian touch to all these laws," he said.

The Union Minister noted that "many groups will benefit" from the new laws, which prioritise women and children.

"Instead of 'Dand', it is now 'Nyay'. Instead of delay, there will be speedy trials and speedy justice. Earlier, only the rights of the police were protected, but now, victims' and complainants' rights will be protected too," he said in a press conference.
