Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Sunday lashed out at the Congress for promising abolition of sedition law in its election manifesto, and said the BJP would bring even more stringent laws for the security of the country if needed.
He was speaking at a public meeting at Jamuna Kalari village in Anuppur in Madhya Pradesh.
"The Congress says they would do away with the sedition law. But we will definitely enact more stringent laws for the country's security if needed," he said.
Accusing the Congress of working towards weakening the fight against terrorism, Singh said, "Even as the country's Army gave reply to the terrorist attack, the Congress and other opposition parties indulged in politics by doubting the valour of the armed forces and asked how many people died in the strike."
