Law of sedition

P.D.T. Achary has lucidly explained the intricacies and implications of the law of sedition in India (Editorial page, June 8).

But the article was not complete in the sense that while it forcefully presented a case for its abolition, it did not present any suggestions on how the interests of the State are to be safeguarded in case of betrayal or rebellion or a call for secession. Without a new Act in place to provide suitable safeguards, abolition of the existing law will be akin to throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and that would not be in the public interest.
