By renaming the earlier IPC laws, they became the Hitlerite laws. Implemented across the country from July 1, the implementation of these laws has put people's personal freedoms and opinions at risk, as any criticism of the government will be criminalised.
 The leaders said that upon the implementation of the new criminal law, those who criticize and speak against the government and the police will be able to register a pamphlet under the new laws.

This fascist move is being strongly condemned at the world level. Similarly, seeking the immediate withdrawal and cancellation of the orders to implement the three criminal laws passed by force from July 1,
 Called the central government's reasoning baseless, that these are to change the colonial laws. But on careful reading, it is clear that there is nothing new in them, but the laws of the British state have been renamed and added to them. Which violate the achievements of the freedom struggle and the guidelines of the Supreme Court. They trample on the fundamental and democratic rights of citizens as well as constitutional and civil liberties and are steps towards imposing an authoritarian police state over the people in the name of justice. There is an attempt to nullify the rights for which our forefathers fought a long battle against the colonial rulers and made sacrifices. Speakers have expressed fear that after the implementation of these laws, worse conditions will arise. Citizens will be subjected to the oppression of the state, and all the freedoms and democratic rights of the citizens will be lost and the entire administrative structure will also come under the grip of the police-system. In fact, the draft of these three criminal laws is more terrible than the emergency of 1975 and not only the citizens,
Even the administrative officers and judges will have to bow their heads in the will of power which will push towards the end of the soul of the democracy. The speakers invited the people of Punjab to fully participate in the convention being held at Jalandhar on July 21 to raise awareness against these dangerous laws.
