Authorities in the Northeast region of India have arrested or questioned 25 individuals in connection with seditious remarks made regarding national security and the recent Pahalgam attack. The law enforcement agencies have been on high alert following the attack, which left several injured, and are investigating all individuals who made inflammatory statements about the incident.
The arrested individuals are allegedly involved in spreading provocative content that could incite violence and disrupt public order. Police officials have confirmed that the detained persons have been questioned regarding their connections to the attack and their involvement in promoting unrest.
The Pahalgam attack, which took place earlier this week, has raised serious concerns over the security situation in the region. Authorities have vowed to take strict action against anyone found involved in spreading seditious propaganda or participating in activities that threaten the peace and harmony of the state.
In addition to the arrests, several others have been summoned for questioning, with many facing charges under sedition laws for their comments that allegedly seek to provoke unrest. The authorities have promised a thorough investigation into the matter and are coordinating with national security agencies to ensure peace is maintained.
This crackdown has sparked debates over freedom of speech and the limits of expression in relation to national security. Some civil rights groups have criticized the heavy-handed approach, while others have expressed support for the government’s actions in safeguarding the public order.
