End of Colonial-Era Criminal Laws By New Bills:
Prime Minister Modi further added that these transformative bills are a testament to India's commitment to reform. These bills bring our legal, policing, and investigative systems into the modern era, focusing on technology and forensic science.
These bills will ensure enhanced protection for the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable sections of society and will come down heavily on organized crime, terrorism, and such offenses which strike at the root of the country's peaceful journey to progress.
Prime Minister highlighted the Home Minister's speech and said in our 'Amrit Kaal' that these reforms will redefine our legal framework to be more relevant and empathy-driven. Amit Shah elaborated on the key features of these bills and said the soul, body, and idea of new criminal laws are purely Bharatiya.

Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha have adjourned sine die [indefinitely] after it passed three bills. Both houses also cleared the Telecommunications Bill 2023 which aims to reform the country's century-old telecom law.
The new Telecom law makes the sector investor-friendly, prioritizes user protection but also extends powers to the government to intercept communications in required cases. The Winter session of Parliament began on December 4 and is scheduled to conclude on December 22.
