beating someone, hmmmmm

Union Minister in a public Rally. "Shoot the traitors(protesters)" https://scroll.in/video/951289/watch-anurag-thakur-minister-...

Chief Minister of UP at a public Rally. "If they(protesters) won't listen with words, they will surely listen to bullets" https://www.deccanherald.com/national/north-and-central/if-n...

I don't mean to engage in whataboutism, but the play had a line which said "hit them with slippers", it's not "sedition". It sure might be wrong, but not "Sedition".

Meanwhile lawmakers holding real power call out for using guns against protesters. And that has led to this https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-51308376

there have been 4 incidents of gun firing in last week alone.

Yes, the sedition charge is ridiculous. It's a relic of colonial times that should be done away with. However, that doesn't justify calls for beating anyone.
