Senior congress leader Kapil Sibal has demanded that the sedition law be scrapped as those in power are "manipulating" it. This comes right after Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid were charged with sedition by the Delhi police for for allegedly raising ‘anti-national slogans’ during an event on the Jawaharlal Nehru university campus in February 2016. Kapil Sibal also called for a change in the government to save the country. The congress senior leader took to twitter to express his view. He said and i quote – “scrap sedition law (section 124a,ipc), a colonial hangover. Real sedition is when those in power manipulate institutions, misuse the law, breach peace and security by inciting violence. punish them in 2019. 'Sarkar Badlo Desh Bachao' (change government, save country)"
