He furthered that the “real sedition is when those in power manipulate institutions, misuse the law, breach peace and security by inciting violence.” Sibal being the one to complain about the sedition law is indeed interesting, because he, as the minister of law and justice in the UPA 2 did not take any steps to abolish the same.
