Srinagar, July 1: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that no law is bad, but the problem lies with how the laws are implemented.
"No law is bad; the problem lies with how the laws are implemented. The previous laws did not have the scope of being misused as much as the new ones. We wanted a new government to be formed after these elections so that these laws could be deliberated upon. We hope that the NDA members think about these laws and that discussions are held on them," he said.
Abdullah also alleged that the laws are first used against the people of Jammu and Kashmir and then they have an effect on other 'mulkon' (States), Abdullah added.
The new criminal laws Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Sanhita came into effect from July 1 midnight.
