Contrary to what some may think,Hon’ble Supreme Court HAS NOT STRUCK DOWN sedition law unlike what it did to S 303 of the Penal Code. It has merely asked the government to re-examine it in view of changed circumstances from British days and possibilities of misuse.
With great...

respect I submit that the situation warranting use of S 124A IPC has,if anything,WORSENED since British days. In those days there was no neighbouring country sending terrorists to destroy India,following Ziaul Haq’s doctrine of ‘thousand cuts’; nor homegrown...

‘revolutionaries’ and separatists doing sabotage of trains and planes,killing hundreds of innocent people; nor paid scribes and mediapersons spreading disinformation calculated to harm the morale of our countrymen.
So Your Lordships,we do need Sedition Law. We also...

need laws to protect our courageous policemen and armed services personnel when they are forced to shoot at assailants in self-defence or in defence of the country.
We also need mild laws to teach our bleeding hearts that they have no right to create disaffection among...

the public against the Govt forces and sympathy for suspected public enemies.
A Bhopal-based Bengali journalist Tarun Coomar Bhaduri (Amitabh Bachchan’s father-in-law) had studied the Chambal Valley dacoits. He opined that they could never have been eliminated except

in encounters. No person would have dared to depose as witness against them even if we had witness protection mechanism,which we don’t. The same is true for the Paki subhumans who killed innocent people on 26/11.
So we need laws to protect policemen in encounters,too.
