💨 Abstract

MP Supriya Sule has compared the proposed law against urban naxalism in Maharashtra to the colonial Rowlatt Act, alleging it could be misused against individuals or organizations critical of the government, effectively establishing a police state. The Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, aimed at tackling naxalism, grants several powers to the government and police, with all offenses registered under the Act being cognizable and non-bailable.
