Article 19(2) lists the ONLY grounds for restricting free speech: security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, contempt of court, defamation, incitement to an offence, and the sovereignty & integrity of India. “Sedition” as a separate ground does **not** appear in Article 19(2) (though speech amounting to sedition may be covered by other listed grounds). Hence, **Sedition** is **not** an independent permissible ground.

Q: Right guaranteed to citizen only is / केवल नागरिक को दिये गए अधिकार हैं:
