Sedition clause clarified

The uproar over the Maharashtra sedition circular was caused by translation into  Marathi, and editing of the original English clause in the court guidelines. The  government circular reworded  the court guidelines to project a harsher view of what constitutes sedition. The original court guidelines said that the "words, signs or representations against politicians or public servants by themselves do not fall in this category unless the words/signs/representations show them as representative of the government." The last phrase, after editing became "If they are against a representative of the government." (NDTV)
