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.
