PSA was expected from 'autocratic' regime: Mufti

February 07, 2020 08:56

After she and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah were booked under the Public Safety Act, Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti made a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, saying it was expected from an "autocratic" regime.

"Ms Mufti received a PSA order sometime back. Slapping the draconian PSA on 2 ex-J&K CMs is expected from an autocratic regime that books 9 year olds for 'seditious remarks'. Question is how much longer will we act as bystanders as they desecrate what this nation stands for," a tweet from Mufti's official account, which is currently operated by her daughter Iltija since her detention last year, said.

The tweet came after Mufti along with former chief minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah were booked under the PSA by the ministry of home affairs on Thursday.

Meanwhile, reacting to the development, former Union Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram too slammed the Modi government for slapping PSA on Omar and Mufti.
