From NDTV report:
Wonder if some of the items will effect civic freedoms to protest etc?
Will the Indian farmers now be marked as Terrorists for their protests, some of them have included destruction of public property etc?
2. Terrorism
Terrorism becomes a punishable offence under Section 113(1).
Death penalty or life imprisonment without parole for terrorist acts.
New offences include the destruction of public facilities or private property.
Coverage of acts causing 'widespread loss by reason of damage or destruction of critical infrastructure.'
3. Treason
Sedition is completely removed and replaced with a new section that criminalises acts that endanger the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India.
Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaces IPC Section 124A, emphasising acts threatening sovereignty or unity and integrity.
Introduction of 'intent' in the definition of treason, safeguarding freedom of expression
Removal of words like hatred and contempt, the inclusion of 'armed rebellion,' 'destructive activities,' and 'separatist activities.'
