In a letter addressed to Modi, the Trinamool Congress chief expressed “grave concern” over the implementation of the three laws — the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNA) 2023, Bharatiya Sakhsya Act (BSA) 2023 and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023.

“The outgoing government of yours had passed these three critical Bills unilaterally, and with no debate. That day, almost 100 members of the Lok Sabha had been suspended and a total of 146 MPs of both Houses were thrown out of Parliament,” she wrote, stressing “the matter deserves review now”.
