It is. Depends upon the govt interpreting it. Yogi is invoking sedition for even criticising the post of CM. If the govt has requested for proposals it's all fine. But when it's not, if you try doing it on social media, sedition law can be invoked, per se depending upon your political affiliation.
Government can't interpret any law. They just quote existing provisions against the subject. If provisions aren't met correctly, you can't put anyone under sedition. Nothing in sedition law strictly includes just exclusively seditioning someone morally and strictly anti-government. Working against national security or hurting the glory of administrative offices (is quite different from plain criticism of government) with certain words is covered. There is a good distance between calling my PM a b@$t@rd vs genuinely criticising him.
During the era of UPA-II, the sedition threat was used by likes of Kapil Sibbal against those who spoke of economic failure, corruption or inflation. These days, left lobbies are even trying to normalise actual sedition. Indian flags are burnt, naxal attacks is are celebrated, separatist choirs are sung and if anyone gets arrested, it's funnily covered as criticism of government.
When I say that government or prime minister has failed the nation in this or that, I'm being a critique of government no law can touch.
But in case, if I spread misinformation against Indian laws like I did in CAA, induce people to raise voice against Indian state, disrespect India's national flag and other symbols, advocate secession of Indian states from Indian Union, destroy public property.
Just coming and asking government to change flag or national anthem or military uniform isn't a sediitive thing and is a quite normal trend.
This thread honestly is not required. What is the need for a new flag in your opinion? Heck even Aimim/ Muslim groups would want fully green on Indian flag. We don't allow it in the name of discussion.
What in the name of discussion? We are not mocking current flag. We are not allowing any kind of incivility or abusive language or sediitive posting or violence inducing. It's fine, non-provoking, entertaining and there is no harm in discussing anything wanted by any kind of people.
You clearly don't understand that symbols are adopted by nations as their representatives. Nations don't worship their symbols. Revisionism is different from anti-nationalism.
