West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to defer the implementation of the three “hurriedly passed” criminal laws that are set to be rolled out on July 1, saying it would enable Parliament to review them afresh.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Trinamool Congress chief expressed “grave concern” over the impending implementation of the three laws — The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNA) 2023, The Bharatiya Sakhsya Act (BSA) 2023, and The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023.
She noted that the three Bills were passed in Lok Sabha at a time when 146 MPs had been suspended.
