Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita liberates our democracy from colonial mindset: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita liberates our democracy from the colonial mindset, and its basic spirit should be made as effective as possible.

"Our country has changed rapidly in a decade. We have risen from the 10th position ten years ago to become the 5th largest economy in the world. Today, the dreams and aspirations of our countrymen are significant. It is important that we innovate according to the new India and modernize our systems. This 'Justice for All' is equally crucial. We are seeing how technology can play a significant role in our judicial system," said PM Modi during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur.

Modi said that justice is always simple and clear but sometimes the process makes it difficult and now it is our collective responsibility to make justice as simple and clear as possible.


"I believe that justice is always simple and clear but sometimes the process makes it difficult. It is our collective responsibility to make justice as simple and clear as possible and I am satisfied that the country has taken many historic and decisive steps in this direction. We have abolished hundreds of colonial laws that have become completely irrelevant. After so many decades of independence, emerging from the mentality of slavery, the country has adopted the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in place of the Indian Panel Code," he added.
