The ruling Trinamool Congress on Thursday passed a resolution against the three new criminal laws — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Saksdhya Adhiniyam replacing Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code and the Indian Evidence Act in that order — earlier implemented nationally by the Centre from July 1. The resolution to this effect was earlier moved under rule 169 in the Bengal Assembly seeking a review of the three new criminal statues --- calling then ‘draconian law’. Bengal Law Minister Moloy Ghatak during discussion said that, “there are many questions that are being raised against these three criminal laws. We are opposing this because it was passed without consulting with the stockholders and Law Commission,” adding how Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself had written three letters to the Centre demanding consultation with the State Governments being the stakeholders in this case. The State Government had formed a Committee to review these laws, and suggest suitable amendments he said.
