Without engaging with #Section124A holistically, the Report merely differentiates why certain foreign jurisdictions do not require #SeditionLaw and India does. By doing so, the Report fails to contemplate or even understand the issues afflicting such a law in the first place. 4/10

The Report has also regurgitated the age-old reliance on terrorism and threats to national security to allow the retention of a law that is being heavily misused to stifle any form of dissent and criticism of the government. 3/10

#SeditionLaw #Section124A

This is almost like a redemption arc
