The All India Lawyers Union (AILU) has condemned the suspension of Opposition MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for the remainder of the winter session of the Parliament ahead of introducing three crucial Bills related to criminal laws. The union termed it as “undemocratic passing of new criminal law Bills’.
Three Bills—Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023 and Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023—were introduced in the Parliament.
AILU president Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharya and general secretary P.V. Surendranath, in a statement on December 21 (Thursday), observed that these Bills were hurriedly passed in Lok Sabha after the suspension of Opposition MPs en masse.
