In October, J. L. Chugh, joint secretary of
the Indian Home Ministry, issued a statement to the local People's
Vigilance Committee on Human Rights in India, and said a hearing would
be convened to discuss the sedition law,
according to CPJ's review of the statement. But the notice did not
include a date or offer further details about the hearing. Two months
have passed since that communique without further indications from your
government about a specific timetable for addressing this critical
issue.
