Comparing apples n oranges! It’s like equating instances of legitimate action by police 2 check crime with instances involvin abuse of power
The point is, guilt of sedition and guilt of fake news both imply guilt of free speech. The problem with our countrymen is that we have normalised and mainstreamed the rationale behind such a percieved guilt, while never questioning the constitutionality of such laws.

I see we have disagreement on some basic aspects. Sedition and fake news to me in no way are free speech. (True) Free speech does not amount to any guilt. And bcoz u mentioned Kanhaiya's case, to me it seems like abuse of law by the govt.

The Constitution disagrees with you. Sedition and fake news are free speech. Unless of course, if you are a BJP supporter who supports all the changes made to article 19 by Nehru post 1950, just because they don't want to be offended. You either have free speech or you don't.
