Devastated: P Chidambaram on Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti being booked under PSA

India Today  

P Chidambaram says he is "shocked and devastated" by the government's decision to keep Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, both former chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir state -- now bifurcated -- under detention using the Public Safety Act. Omar Abdullah, 49, and Mehbooba Mufti, 60, were being held under Section 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure -- they have been in detention ever since the government announced its decision to scrap Jammu and Kashmir's special status in August. "Shocked and devastated by the cruel invocation of the Public Safety Act against Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and others." "Slapping the draconian PSA on 2 ex J&K CMs is expected from an autocratic regime that books 9-year-olds for seditious remarks’," Iltija Mufti, the daughter of Mehbooba Mufti, tweeted on Thursday.
