CPI calls for sedition law revamp
Welcoming the Supreme Court’s decision to grant bail to civil rights activist Binayak Sen, the CPI on Saturday demanded drastic amendments to the sedition law and review of all such cases by the state governments to ensure that innocents are not put behind bars on similar charges.
“The Supreme Court’s decision that no sedition case was made out against Mr Sen, is a slap on BJP’s Chhattisgarh government that continues to violate human rights in the garb of fighting the Naxal menace,” said the party central secretariat. It further said a large number of CPI cadres continued to remain in Chhattisgarh jails due to this policy of the BJP government.
