Modi also discussed the new criminal laws, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which emphasize both punishment and protection of citizens.
He urged for faster legal processes, particularly in cases involving women, to build trust in the justice system.
Modi underscored the grave concern of atrocities against women and called fo faster justice.
"The faster justice is delivered in cases of atrocities against women, the greater assurance half of the population will have about their safety," the PM said.
He further highlighted the need for improved coordination within the criminal justice system, despite the presence of stringent laws, to ensure justice is not just promised but delivered.
Reflecting on the 'dark' period of the Emergency, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the judiciary for its crucial role in upholding the fundamental rights of citizens during a time when democracy itself was at stake. He also lauded the judiciary for its consistent efforts in safeguarding national integrity, particularly in matters of national security, where the courts have often placed national interests above all else.
The Prime Minister highlighted the strides made by Indian Railways in addressing long-standing issues. He noted that the increased budgetary allocations to states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have bolstered rail transport in the southern region, which has historically faced neglect.
"The railways will not stop till it becomes a guarantee of comfortable travel for all," PM Modi said.
