MP Mahesh Jethmalani criticises Opposition's demand for re-examination of new criminal laws
The Daily Guardian|July 02, 2024
Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani criticized the Opposition's demand for re-examination of the new criminal laws which came into effect on Monday, July 1.

"Why should it be re-examined? It had been passed by the supreme law-making body of this country. It has got Presidential assent and a notification has been issued. Today, it comes into force. So, the entire procedure by which laws are passed has been complied with in letter and in spirit. So, why should there be any re-look at it?" Jethmalani asked.

The Rajya Sabha MP alleged that the opposition is "hell-bent" on opposing everything good or bad this government brings.

"I do not know what the objection is, this is a colonial law enacted in colonial times.

What are they talking about? They have not even read the laws, I am telling you.
