New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah took a jibe at the Congress on Wednesday, saying people with an “Italian mindset” will not be able to understand the basis on which three bills related to criminal laws have been introduced in Parliament.

Responding to a debate in the Lok Sabha on the three bills that seek to replace the existing Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and Evidence Act, Shah said the proposed legislations reflect the spirit of the Constitution but those with an Italian mindset will never understand it, in an apparent dig at the Congress.

The senior leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asserted that the three bills are based on justice, transparency and fairness.
