it tells us that,for consistency of the law there must be a displacement as well as conduction current

Maxwell's equations are just expressed in two forms
1) Differential form
2) Integral form
These are just the most elegant and concise ways to state the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism. From them one can develop most of the working relationships in the field. Because of their concise statement, they embody a high level of mathematical sophistication and are therefore not generally introduced in an introductory treatment of the subject, except perhaps as summary relationships.

Maxwell's Equations

Integral form in the absence of magnetic or polarizable media:

I. Gauss' law for electricity

II. Gauss' law for magnetism

III. Faraday's law of induction

IV. Ampere's law
