Rechristening the 263-year-old criminal laws with their Hindi equivalent with improvisation has invited the wrath of DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, who described it as a sweeping overhaul and an audacious attempt to tamper with the essence of India's diversity. The three Bills, aimed at overhauling the criminal justice system and replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act, were introduced in the Lok Sabha by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The trio bills are Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (for IPC), Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (for CrPC), and Bharatiya Sakshya (for the Evidence Act).

The Centre on Friday introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha for a complete overhaul of the criminal laws, originating in the colonial era, to include maximum punishment for crimes. Punishment for rape is imprisonment for a term not less than ten years that may be extended to imprisonment for life while punishment for gang-rape can be 20 years in jail to a life term. There is provision for imprisonment for sexual intercourse on false promise of marriage, retaining death sentence and also a new offence of endangering sovereignty unity and integrity of India, instead of sedition.
