Former J&K CMs Booked Under PSA
- On Thursday, former CMs of J&K Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah were booked under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA).
- PSA allows for detention without trial for up to two years if a person is deemed acting “in any manner prejudicial to the security of the state”.
- Reacting on the detention orders, Mufti's daughter Iltija tweeted, "Slapping the draconian PSA on 2 ex J&K CMs is expected from an autocratic regime that books 9-year-olds for seditious remarks."
- Two other leaders who have been booked under PSA are NC's Ali Mohammed Sagar, and PDP's Sartaj Madani.
- Let us tell you that Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah have been in detention since August 5 after the abrogation of Article 370.
