Proposal ‘treacherous’, against spirit of SC stand, signal of centre becoming more ‘deadly’: Congress

“In a terrible, tragic and treacherous development, The law commission has recommended that Section 124A of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) should not only be retained but also made more harsh. The BJP uses the law of sedition as a tool of subverting, subjugating and silencing dissent. The BJP government now plans to become more draconian, drastic and deadly than the colonial regime,” Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said at an All India Congress Committee briefing.
