Which of the following is NOT among the activities referred to in section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 punishes whoever, purposely or knowingly, excites or attempts to excite secession, armed rebellion or subversive activities, encourages feelings of separatist activities, or endangers the sovereignty or unity and integrity of India. Secession, armed rebellion and separatist feelings are therefore all covered.

Exciting disaffection towards the Government established by law was the core of the sedition offence (formerly s.124A IPC) and is not among the activities in section 152. The Explanation to section 152 also makes clear that comments disapproving of government measures with a view to their alteration by lawful means are not an offence under it.
