New Delhi: The sedition law, which has come under focus after the JNU row, needs 'reconsideration,' newly-appointed Law Commission Chairman Justice Balbir Singh Chauhan said on Tuesday but asserted that the panel will not jump to any conclusion before hearing out stakeholders.

"Actually it (sedition law) requires reconsideration. We do not know what is the problem, what are the difficulties. We will hear all the stakeholders, consult criminal lawyers," the former Supreme Court judge told PTI.
