Скачать или смотреть Govt proposes to abolish British-era sedition law

The sedition law, known as 'Rajdroh' has got a new term for it - 'Deshdroh', thus doing away the reference to the British crown, officials said.

According to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Bill, 2023, introduced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday, whoever, purposely or knowingly, by words, either spoken or written or by signs or by visible representation or by electronic communication or by use of financial mean or otherwise, excites or attempts to excite, secession or armed rebellion or subversive activities or encourages feelings of separatist activities or endangers sovereignty or unity and integrity of India; or indulges in or commits any such act shall be punished with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment which may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.
