The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) take into account some of the current social realities and crimes of today.

"These are serious laws. Therefore, a consensus is required from all quarters. These laws are for the entire country and their impact would be felt even among the people at the bottom rung of the society. I would suggest deferring these laws and passing them decisively unanimous," Thakur said.

Reacting to Thakur's statement, BJP leader Amar Bauri, who is also the leader of the opposition in the state assembly, said: "The Congress has to protest because the party has been carrying the British temper for decades in the country. Bharatiya Dand The Sanhita (Indian Penal Code) was dictated by the British and the Congress wants to continue the legacy.”
