Kolkata, August 22: West Bengal‘s Tourism Minister Shankar Ghosh, along with BJP MPs Khagen Murmu and Manoj Tigga, responded to key political and developmental issues in the state following the implementation of the Indian Justice Code. The BJP has launched a sharp attack on the previous Mamata Banerjee government, claiming that the new code signifies the end of ‘Dushkriti Raj’ and the beginning of the rule of law.
Minister Ghosh stated that the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been replaced by the Indian Justice Code (BNS), which focuses on justice rather than punishment, contrasting with the colonial mindset of the IPC. He emphasized that Home Minister Amit Shah‘s recent exhibition aimed to raise awareness about the BNS among the public and students.
Ghosh criticized the previous government for its reluctance to allocate land to the Border Security Force (BSF), stating that under the new administration led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, the first action taken was to grant land to the BSF. He noted that the open border previously allowed terrorists and infiltrators to enter the state, a situation that he claims has now been addressed.
BJP MP Khagen Murmu highlighted that Home Minister Amit Shah elaborated on the new law in the assembly, emphasizing the government’s commitment to internal security. He mentioned that the Justice Code was implemented shortly after Suvendu Adhikari took office, marking a significant shift from the previous government’s policies.
Murmu pointed out that for 15 years under the TMC, the law was not effectively enforced, and the state was governed by TMC’s own regulations. He reiterated that the atmosphere of fear has been replaced by a government of trust, ensuring that the rule of law is now upheld in West Bengal.
This transition marks a pivotal moment in the state’s governance, as the BJP seeks to establish a new order focused on law and order.
