The BJP on Monday hailed the enactment of new criminal laws as a landmark moment for India's progress and resilience. Spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia emphasized the replacements for the outdated Indian Penal Code and Indian Evidence Act cater to contemporary societal issues, ensuring a more secure and just future.

Bhatia highlighted that the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam account for modern-day crimes and social realities. Key changes include the definition of terrorism and mob lynching, bolstering the nation's legal framework against such offenses.

Special attention is given to safeguarding women and children's rights, with expedited justice procedures set to enhance legal efficiency. Bhatia remarked this legal overhaul epitomizes a resilient and evolving India, ready to embrace justice-led modernization.
