Sedition law repealed or strengthened in a new form? What the new IPC Bill says

Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the Bharatiya Sanhita Suraksha Bill 2023 in Lok Sabha to replace the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Indian Evidence Act and referred the laws to a standing committee. Significantly, he said that the law on sedition has been repealed. The new provision brings under its sweep aiding through financial means and acts of “subversive activities”, or those encouraging “feelings of separatist activities.”
