New offenses for prosecuting persons who threaten the security of the state (redefined) Agenda to silence opponents. Kapil Sibal said in a tweet. “Wherever the BJP is in power, the political opponents will be attacked and the police force is by and large working under the directions of the political persons in power. In this context you give police or enforcement agencies custody for 60-90 days, then it is a recipe for disaster” .
He further sad that the way sedition law changed and put into place, provisions relating to national security without defining under what circumstances a person can be prosecuted for national security. “On one hand, they are giving more power to police and on the other hand silencing people, this is unacceptable, Sibal said.
