Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister of India, has introduced three bills to replace British-era laws, including the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The new bill will completely repeal the offence of sedition, which has been a controversial topic in India for years. The IPC was originally created in 1860 by the British and has been the basis of the country's criminal justice system. This move is seen as a significant step towards modernizing India's legal framework and promoting freedom of speech.
