‘Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita liberates democracy from colonial mindset’: PM Modi in Jodhpur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (August 25) addressing the concluding ceremony of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur, highlighted the significance of the newly adopted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which replaces the Indian Penal Code. He noted that this new code is based on the principle of “justice in place of punishment,” aligning with Indian philosophical thought. “It is now our responsibility to make the spirit of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as effective as possible,” Modi emphasized, calling for a shift away from the colonial mindset that has influenced India’s legal system for decades.
