Former J&K CM Farooq Abdullah Detained Under Public Safety Act

Farooq Abdullah has now been detained under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act. PSA allows the government to detain a person for up to 2 years without a trial.

The decision to slap PSA on the National Conference leader came on Sunday night.

Farooq Abdullah has been detained at his residence by the government under PSA and his house has been declared as subsidiary jail. He will continue to stay at his house. There is however no bar on meeting relatives and friends.

Earlier, Kashmiri leader Shah Faesal was also detained under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Monday sought a response from the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration on a plea seeking to produce Farooq Abdullah before the court.

A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and justices S A Bobde and S A Nazeer issued a notice to the Centre and the state and fixed Rajya Sabha MP and MDMK leader Vaiko’s plea for hearing on September 30.

Vaiko, who said he is a close friend of Abdullah for the past four decades, has contended that constitutional rights conferred on the National Conference leader had been deprived of on account of “illegal detention without any authority of law”.

The veteran leader has been under house arrest since August 4, a day before the bill to end the special status of Jammu and Kashmir was introduced. On Monday, the Supreme Court sought a response from the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration on a plea seeking to produce Abdullah before the court.
