Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi today hit out at critics questioning in posing sedition charges against JNU students. Speaking exclusively to India Today Television's Managing Editor Rahul Kanwal, Bassi said that questioning invoking sedition charges against anti-nationals is a blasphemous act.

Sparking a major debate, Bassi said that there is an urgent need to expand the scope of the law of sedition. Citing the examples of US, UK, France and Belgium, the Delhi Police Commissioner said that worldwide nations are redefining what constitutes an anti-national act in light of how technology is enabling terrorists in their actions.

"The sedition law needs to be rewritten to remove all scope of ambiguity so that citizens have no doubt about what constitutes an anti-national act," Bassi said.

Reacting to the India Today expose, Operation Patiala House, Bassi said that the lawyers will be arrested soon if they fail to honour the police summons and the law will come down on them.

He also defended the actions of the cops at Patiala House court.
