Jodhpur (Rajasthan):Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) which replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has freed the Indian democracy from a colonial mindset.
The Narendra Modi government replaced the IPC with the BNS. Speaking at the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Rajasthan High Court, the Prime Minister said, "National integration is a key element of our judicial system. I believe justice is always straight but many times the processes make it complicated. It is our collective responsibility to simplify laws and make them clear. We have cancelled several Colonial laws. We have adopted BNS in place of IPC."
"The BNS frees our democracy from a colonial mindset. In the last decade, our country has changed. We have become the fifth-largest economy in the world. It is necessary to make new innovations," added the Prime Minister.
