As I mentioned above - criticism of any kind of religion can get you in trouble in India[1][2]. But we should not lump that with criticism of government.

Do you have any examples, where someone was arrested for simply criticising govt actions?

Muslim citizens of India being arrested for criticizing the government's action of insulting their religion

One even had their family home demolished without any due process as revenge for criticizing the government
