Three criminal law reform bills introduced in the Monsoon Session by Home Minister Amit Shah have sparked controversy as South Goa Congress MPs, Francisco Sardinha and Goa opposition leader Yuri Alemao, slam the hasty approval process.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 ('New Penal Bill'), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 ('New Procedure Bill'), and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023 ('New Evidence Bill') faced criticism for setting a bad precedent with the President signing them swiftly without a debate, particularly when 145 Opposition MPs were suspended from Parliament.
The changes in terminology, the substitution of 'Indian' with 'Bharatiya,' and the vague definition of acts endangering the sovereignty of the country raise concerns, as sedition-like actions could now be broadly penalized.
