Sedition Law Stayed

Hot Mic with Nidhi Razdan: The Supreme Court's historic decision to put the 162-year-old sedition law on hold till the central government completes the promised exercise to reconsider and re-examine the provision is hugely significant

With the Opposition targeting the Centre after the Supreme Court's stay on the sedition law, the BJP on Wednesday said the order must be viewed in the context of the overall positive suggestion of the government.

The Supreme Court today stayed the country's colonial-era sedition law after the Centre's u-turn in the last hearing. The Centre had argued against it saying it can't be stayed based on just a few Public Interest Litigations (PIL).
