The detention of Mufti, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was extended by three months on Saturday. The 61-year-old has been in detention under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) since August last year.
Earlier, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram had also criticized the union government over extension of PDP leader’s detention and said it is an “abuse of law” and “assault” on the constitutional rights of every citizen of the country.
“The extension of the detention of Ms Mehbooba Mufti under PSA is an abuse of law and an assault on the Constitutional rights guaranteed to every citizen,” he tweeted.
