MUMBAI: NCP president Sharad Pawar filed an additional affidavit before the Koregaon Bhima enquiry commission to suggest “legal reforms” that include “repeal” of IPC Section 124A (sedition) and reintroduction of Section 66A of the Information Technology Act to ensure law enforcement agencies can maintain law and order and prevent riots, reports Swati Deshpande.
Pawar added that IPC Section 124A is “often misused against people who criticise government, suppressing their liberty, and tends to stifle any voice of dissent raised in a peaceful and democratic way” and “should be repealed. ”
