New laws 'threat to civil liberties and rights': Owaisi
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the provisions of these new laws are a 'threat to the civil liberties and rights of the people'. He said that these give power to the police to take action against anyone. For example, Owaisi had hinted at the implementation of sedition in a 'different avatar' in his speech of December 20, 2023. He had said that it was proposed to increase the punishment for this crime from 3 years to 7 years.
