PM Modi bats for laws to be written in simple, regional languages

New Delhi, October 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Saturday that laws should be written in simple and regional languages so that even the poorest of the poor can understand the new legislation. PM Modi stated during the inaugural session of the All India Conference of Law Ministers and Secretaries by video conferencing, "It is important for us to break the shackles of colonialism by removing regressing colonial laws, then only India can progress in true sense. In the last eight years, we removed 32,000 compliances to improve ease of living." The Prime Minister further stated that Lok Adalats have been formed in the country as an additional tool for speeding justice. He stated that many states are doing great work in this regard. "The people of the country should not feel the absence of government. Also, the people of the country should not feel the pressure of the government. Over 1,500 archaic laws have been terminated. Numerous cases have been resolved in the country through Lok Adalats," the PM said. He said that the development of Indian society spanned thousands of years. Despite these obstacles, the Indian society has achieved steady progress. The most significant aspect of Indian society is that, while progressing, it also keeps on internal reforms, PM said.

PM Modi further added, "Academic system will also have to be made for the youth in the mother tongue. Law-related courses should be in the mother tongue. Let our laws be written in simple and intuitive language. The Digital library of important cases of High Court and Supreme Court should be in local language."
