"Justice Madan B. Lokur says that the new provision section 152 of the BNS will have a doctrine of freezing effect. It will not only have a chilling effect. He says it'll have a freezing effect if noted journalists like Sedhart Rajan and Karan Tapar are targeted summoned by the police and if they are facing a possible jail term just because of performing their duty then this will have not the impact of chilling effect but it is going to freeze free speech and free press forever."
