10 Important Points of PM Modi's Address
1. People thought that if the British left, they would be free from their laws PM Modi said that in 2020, notification was issued regarding 3 laws. After this suggestions were taken from many places. In which he interacted with the High Court judges and people. Brainstormed on the challenges faced by the justice system in the seven decades of independence.
The country got independence in 1947. After the sacrifice of so many people, what dreams were there when freedom started, what enthusiasm people had. People believed that if the British left, they would be freed from British laws. These laws were a tool of exploitation for the British, through which they wanted to consolidate their power in India.
2. IPC was created to punish Indians The PM said that the rebellion against the British started in our country in 1857. After which the British formed the IPC in 1860. The purpose of these laws was to punish and enslave the Indians. At the same time, decades after the country's independence, they continued to revolve around the same penal code. Although these laws were slightly modified, their character remained the same.
Why obey laws made for slaves in a free country? Neither we asked him about this nor the people in authority understood. He influenced India's development journey. Also now the country has come out of slavery. For this a national idea was necessary. So I presented this to the people on August 15 from the Red Fort.
3. Poor laborers will no longer fear the courts PM said that poor and weak people are afraid in the name of law. Earlier they were afraid to step in the court, but now the Indian Judiciary Code will work to change this mindset of people. Which is guaranteed in our constitution. INDIAN JUDICIAL CODE Indian Civil Protection is full of sensitivity towards every victim. It is equally important for the citizens of the country to know its intricacies.

No one can be forcibly detained, his family must be informed.
5. Accused shall not remain in jail for long without punishment Now the accused cannot be kept in jail for a long time without punishment. Apart from this, many new things have been included in the new law. Everything in this is timed. Information about new laws is coming. It is encouraging.

The culprits have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
6. Summons will be sent over phone, digital facts will be admissible Now the world is changing fast. Criminals and crime patterns have changed. How can the 19th century system be viable in such a situation? In such a situation this change has been made. Now summons will be sent directly to people's phones. Digital facts will be valid.

Now the discussion is going on on the Waqf Board. As today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. These people were also our family members.
In the old laws such derogatory terms were used for them, which the civilized society would not accept. We have made the law for the disabled. So, I want every department, agency, police personnel to know the new provisions and understand their feelings. I would like to ask all the state governments of the country to implement the new law effectively.
