The new bill adds community service as a form of punishment. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023 seeks to replace the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 (CrPC). The CrPC provides for the procedure for arrest, prosecution, and bail. The Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023 (BSB2) replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.

The BJP leader said that Hindus have the right to respond to those who attack them and their dignity. The MP from Bhopal said that people should at least keep knives. She said, "Keep weapons in your homes, if nothing else, at least knives used to cut vegetables, sharp. Don`t know what situation will arise when. Everyone has the right to self-protection.
