The Internal Security Act gave massive powers to the authorities to investigate any organization or publication. This prompted opposition parties to oppose this provision of the Internal Security Act. Sections 19(1) and 20 dealt with the banning of people, including confinement to a particular district, prohibition from attending any kind of meeting and prevention from being quoted. It also provided for house arrest.
