The Supreme Court on Friday refused to direct the removal of Union minister V.K. Singh or green-light a sedition case against him over his purported claim on Indian incursions into China, pointing out that such action was the prerogative of the Prime Minister.
A social activist had moved the apex court asking for a sedition case to be filed against junior road transport and highways minister Singh, or his sacking, for suggesting that India had crossed the Line of Actual Control more often than China.

“Let me assure you, if China has transgressed 10 times, we must have done it at least 50 times,” Singh, a former army chief, has been quoted as saying. China had termed the statement “an unwitting confession” by India, appearing to weaken New Delhi’s position amid Chinese incursions and the Galwan Valley clash that killed 20 Indian soldiers.
