Citing the Law Commission’s backing of Section 124 A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC ), pertaining to sedition, the Congress on Friday alleged that the BJP government was planning to make the law more “draconian” and wanted to send a message before the next general election that it would be used against Opposition leaders.
The principal Opposition party alleged that the BJP used the sedition law as a tool of “subversing, subjugating, and silencing dissent” and asked why the government had not yet had the courage to do away with the Supreme Court making strong observations and rendering it inoperative.
