Union Home Minister Amit Shah, asserting the Modi Government’s commitment to fulfilling promises, highlighted that unlike previous Congress administrations, the current government delivers on its assurances. Shah emphasized achievements such as the ongoing construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the implementation of 33% reservation for women in Parliament and assemblies.
Participating in the Lok Sabha debate on three amended bills replacing criminal laws, Amit Shah stated, “We said that in Ayodhya we will make Ram Mandir as soon as possible, and on January 22 Lord Ram’s idol will be installed there. This is Modi’s government which delivers what it says. We said that we would give 33 per cent reservation to women in the Parliament and assemblies.”
Comparing with past Congress regimes, Shah noted, “Congress came to power many times and kept giving dates, but we delivered it and with a majority of votes to empower women.”
Earlier in the day, Lok Sabha passed three significant bills to replace the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act. Responding to the debate on these bills, Amit Shah stated that the legislation aligns with the spirit of the Constitution.
The bills in question are the Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill 2023. Notably, the debate lacked participation from most opposition parties, as 97 of their members were suspended from the House for “misconduct.”
