SC: Sedition law 'colonial', does govt want to retain it?

"Sedition provision Section 124A of IPC is a colonial era which was used to silence dissent or protest against British and was used against Mahatma Gandhi and Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Does the government want to retain it after 75 years of independence," a SC bench led by CJI N V Ramana said.
