What happened in Siliguri (West Bengal)
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah inaugurated an exhibition on the three new criminal laws in Siliguri, West Bengal. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, and Intelligence Bureau Director Mahesh Dixit were present, along with other dignitaries.
Exhibition’s core claims on implementation in West Bengal
Amit Shah stated that implementation of the new criminal laws had already begun across India, and he alleged that the previous government of West Bengal did not issue notifications required for implementation. Amit Shah argued that the previous West Bengal government did not allow the change because criminal syndicate control, “cut money,” toll tax, and fear would have been reduced once the new laws were operational.
Amit Shah said the West Bengal government promised “a government of trust, not fear” during the elections. He claimed that after Suvendu Adhikari assumed office, the first step was implementing the Naveen Nyaya Sanhita in West Bengal.
