Congress MP Manish Tewari gives adjournment notice in Lok Sabha to discuss new criminal laws
Congress MP Manish Tewari has given an adjournment motion in Lok Sabha on Monday seeking a discussion on the three new criminal laws that has come into force from today.
In the notice, Tewari urged the House to suspend Zero Hour and relevant rules to discuss the implementation of the three new Criminal Acts.
The Congress MP said that the three new Criminal Acts were passed in the Lok Sabha at a point in time when 146 MPs had been suspended from both houses of Parliament, that is Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, while they were demanding accountability for the security breach that had occurred in the Lok Sabha on December 13, 2023.
“These three new Acts are going to upend the entire criminal jurispredence of the country which has now been established and has stabilised over the period of more than a century,” Tewari said in the notice.
