Noted civil rights activist Teesta Setalvad has said that the changes proposed in the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and The Evidence Act portend a great danger to democracy.
The Constitution was so drafted that it respected the opinions and aspirations of all sections, and gave utmost significance to equality, whereas the laws being made by present governments and the amendments thereof tended to be biased, Ms. Setalvad said while addressing a seminar on ‘Protection of Constitution and democracy’, organised as part of the All India Lawyers’ Union (AILU) State conference, in Guntur on Sunday.
