Omar Abdullah’s Sister Challenges His Detention In SC knskashmir.com
The sister of former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday challenged slapping of PSA on him in Apex Court. Reports said Sara Abdullah Pilot argued her brother’s detention is a grave violation of his constitutional rights including that of freedom of speech and is part of a “consistent and concerted effort to muzzle all political rivals”. Omar Abdullah, detained without charges since August 5 — when the government ended special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 — was formally detained under the PSA last week. The plea challenging Omar Abdullah’s detention says there could be no material available to detain a person who has already been detained for the previous six months; that grounds for the detention are wholly lacking any material facts.
