edit

Source 1: "In its manifesto released on Tuesday, Congress has promised to omit the Indian Penal Code Section 124A.", Source 2: "In 2012 and 2013, an astonishing number of 23,000 men and women who protested against a nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu were held for "waging war against the state" and sedition - 9,000 of them for sedition alone."

  • new, properly written (I copyedited for grammatical errors or POV language); Earwig's suggest plagiarism, but this relates to just one portion of the text where the law is quoted verbatim (as it should).
