New Delhi: The Congress in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday accused the Centre of misusing the sedition law, mentioning the arrest of 22-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi by the Delhi police in the infamous ‘toolkit’ case.
The Centre was also asked if it was planning to dilute the law, in light of the observations made by a Delhi court while granting bail to Ravi.
G Kishan Reddy tabled a written response to the question in the House.
New Delhi:
The Congress and the government engaged in a war of words in Lok Sabha on Tuesday over sedition cases with the opposition party alleging the stringent law is being misused, drawing a sharp retort from Union minister G Kishan Reddy who asked it not to lecture others on democracy.
During the Question Hour, Congress member from Telangana Anumula Revanth Reddy sought the number of cases registered under the offence of sedition across the country during the last 10 years, the conviction rate and the steps taken for their speedy trial.
