The Former Chief Minister of Jammu Kashmir, Omar Abdullah on Monday while addressing a rally in Bandipora said that the party will abrogate the Public Safety Act (PSA) entirely if their party comes to power in Jammu Kashmir.
“In our tenure from 2009-14, we attempted to bring some relaxation in PSA Act, we had removed the toughest parts from it but still today it is being highly misused,” Omar Abdullah said.
Expressing concern over the PSA Detantions, Omar Abdullah said that today so many youths, our elders are struggling in prisons. I had tried that this Act not be misused but my attempts didn’t materialise completely.
This time we have decided not to relax the law but remove it completely from the books of law, we will not keep the law, he said.
“Take this in written from me, if National conference is given a mandate, within days Public Saftey Act will go forever,” Omar said.
