“It is the resolve of the government that none will be allowed to get away with making speeches that can cause sedition or that can cause violence, especially because when we make these kinds of pronouncement and do things that can cause violence or destruction of lives and property, we are no longer in control.”
- Yemi Osinbajo
We often hear debates on various news social media channels in which they often argue that sedition being an archaic section should be repealed. Those who are against this section often debate that as the true inventor of this section is the British government, who invented it for their own cause which was obviously to curve the dissent in form of protest of Indian leaders and as now the condition are changed that is we have got our freedom there is no need to still having such anarchic provision in our constitution. As according to them it is the right of the citizen to voice their opinion against the government and government has no other option then listening to them and take their unruly behaviour.
