Indian police arrest 15 Indians for celebrating Pakistan’s Champions Trophy victory

[Infinity]

If you raise slogan to praise an enemy state, it is akin to "incitement to imminent lawless action" or at least "incitement to public disprder"by offending and fueling the hatred towards the enemy state among common people.

Point is, what is sedition and what is not in the eyes of court depends on how good the lawyer defending it is.

I stand by what i said..................


The Madhya Pradesh police on Thursday dropped the sedition charges against 15 persons who were arrested for celebrating the victory of Pakistan against India in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy.

The 15 men from Mohad in Burhanpur district were booked under Sections 124-A of the Indian penal Code (IPC), among other charges, on Tuesday.

Burhanpur Superintendent of Police Rajaram Singh Parihar told The Hindu that the charges were dropped as they were unable to find enough evidence and that the complaint was misinterpreted. “They have now been charged with Section 153 A of the IPC for allegedly disturbing communal harmony,” Mr. Parihar said.

Well, I never said you are wrong. I just said - a good lawyer can prove right to be wrong or vice versa.

"disturbing communal harmony"? this is even more funny.

Indian police arrested 15 Muslims in the Madhya Pradesh state on sedition charges after they allegedly raised pro-Pakistan slogans following the country’s victory in the ICC Champions Trophy final.

The arrests were made in Burhanpur district against the persons accused of firing crackers, police said, adding the suspects will be produced in the court on Tuesday, Hindustan Times reported.

According to police inspector Sanjay Pathak, a local resident told them over the phone about the celebration in Pakistan’s favour after the team’s stunning 180-run defeat against the arch-rivals.
