| Abstract: | Sedition law (Section 124A) was the primary tool in hands of the British government during the independence struggle and it was excessively used to suppress the increased rebellion. Back then one could have justified the incorporation of sedition as the ruling government reserves the right to oppress any voice against their absolute ruler, the Queen. However, in context of the modern day one can question that is the law needed and if needed to what extent should the governments be able to exploit it which respects the citizens freedom of speech. |
