Delhi Police claims Muluk, who is on bail in a case of sedition and other charges, had a direct role in planning and execution of a 'large, inter-continental conspiracy to excite disaffection against India'.
The top court was hearing a plea that referred to Farooq Abdullah's statement on restoration of Article 370 and contended it amounts to a seditious act.
While judge Ravindra Pandey favoured women speaking up against abuse by powerful men, judge Dharmendra Rana reiterated sedition law can’t be used randomly.
The court asserted that sedition law is a powerful tool to maintain peace, but it cannot be 'invoked to quieten the disquiet under the pretence of muzzling the miscreants'.
The two accused had allegedly shared fake videos related to farm protests. Court says sedition & forgery don’t seem applicable but ‘spreading rumours’ does.
The court took cognisance of Delhi Police chargesheet, claiming Kanhaiya Kumar, others supported seditious slogans raised on JNU campus in February 2016, and summoned them on 15 March.
Ministry of Home Affairs Wednesday shared data in Rajya Sabha on cases filed under sedition and UAPA in 2019 and the arrests made in connection with them.
Years are quietly being stripped off my lifespan, and somehow that doesn’t ruin my day. But getting scolded for one careless word in an email? That can send me spiralling.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Young people like you and me have not had the experience of the history of the independence and constitution-making. To say that India’s constitution always had such wide-ranging restrictions on free speech would be to unknowingly spread falsehood. The FIRST AMENDMENT introduced these distortions to make Indian constitution what it is. I hope we can revert to the Constition 1.0 in these regards.
