Delhi govt. no less ill-informed than Centre in understanding sedition law: Chidambaram

The Hindu  

Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Saturday hit out at the Delhi government for its sanction to prosecute former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and nine others in connection with a sedition case, saying the Kejriwal dispensation is “no less ill-informed than the Centre” in its understanding of the sedition law. The Delhi government has given a go-ahead to the city police to prosecute former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union president Kanhaiya Kumar and nine others in connection with a four-year-old sedition case, as the ruling AAP denied the persistent BJP charge of blocking the proceedings in the matter. “Delhi Government is no less ill-informed than the central government in its understanding of sedition law,” Chidambaram tweeted. “I strongly disapprove of the sanction granted to prosecute Mr. Kanhaiya Kumar and others for alleged offences under sections 124A and 120B of IPC,” the former home minister said.
