Omar Abdullah Slams PSA Detention of AAP MLA Mehraj Malik
Former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has strongly criticized the detention of Aam Aadmi Party MLA Mehraj Malik under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Abdullah said, “There is no justification for detaining Mehraj Malik under PSA. He’s not a threat to ‘public safety’ and using this discredited law to detain him is wrong. If the unelected government can use its powers against an elected representative like this, then how does anyone expect the people of J&K to continue to have faith in democracy?”
Abdullah’s sharp reaction has sparked a wider debate over the use of PSA, with opposition leaders questioning its continued application against political figures in Jammu & Kashmir.
