The withdrawal of the Act from seven assembly segments earlier was a signal to the Centre. "Time has come for review or modification of the controversial Act," Singh said addressing a seminar on the role of media in development and peace.
Singh said he had conveyed the feelings and the problems in the state to central leaders but did not elaborate.
