New Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said that the three new criminal laws will be available in all regional languages including Tamil and if anyone has any problem regarding the names of the laws, then joint efforts should have been made for this.
The Indian Justice Code (BNS), the Indian Civil Defense Code (BNSS) and the Indian Evidence Act (BSA) came into force on Monday.
The new laws replaced the British-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act respectively.
"I want to say one thing that the entire law will be made available in Tamil and the proceedings will also be in Tamil. If you still have any objection regarding the name then a joint effort should have been made for it. I appeal to the stakeholders to raise their complaints. We will have to come forward with it,” Shah said at a press conference here.
He was replying to a question on the objections raised by some people, including Tamil Nadu MPs, on keeping the names of the new laws in Hindi.
The Home Minister said that these laws will be available in all the languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.
Shah said, "If they have any objection to the name, they can raise it with me. Neither the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister nor these MPs have sought time to meet me."
