    Question

    Under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS),

    2023, which of the following acts is punishable as an 'Act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India'?
    A Bringing hatred or contempt toward the Government established by law in India through spoken or written words. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Purposely or knowingly exciting secession, armed rebellion, or subversive activities through electronic communication or use of financial means. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Endangering the sovereignty and unity of India by encouraging feelings of separatist activities. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both 2 and 3. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Correct Answer: 4 Section 152 represents a major legislative shift. While it covers similar ground to the old Sedition law, the language is broader and the penalties are more severe. The BNS has moved away from protecting the "Government established by law" from criticism. Instead, the offense now triggers only when the Sovereignty, Unity, and Integrity of India are at risk.
