Kapil Sibal says criminal laws, to be effective from July, should be reconsidered

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal called for a reconsideration of three new criminal laws set to take effect on July 1, suggesting they be reviewed by the new government. He highlighted controversy surrounding the Agniveer scheme for Army recruitment and the contentious nature of the new legislation. \r

Sibal emphasized the need for reasonableness in the implementation of these laws, cautioning that they could surpass colonial laws in severity. Regarding Narendra Modi's recent assertion of being sent by God, Sibal questioned the moral authority behind Modi's victory claim, citing the BJP's loss of nearly 60 seats despite Modi's pre-election assertion of securing "400 paar." \r

Sibal expressed hope for unity under Modi's leadership in the future, despite his earlier skepticism.
