“Public Safety Act misused rashly,” says Omar Abdullah

National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah on Friday claimed that the Public Safety Act was misused and said that the youths were harassed without any reason.

“The youth has been harassed without any reason. Different laws were used against them. After the local jails were full, they kept the youth in jails outside Jammu and Kashmir… PSA (Public Safety Act) has been misused rashly… We have promised in our manifesto that we will remove the PSA if the National Conference comes to power so that it cannot be misused again” said Abdullah.

Earlier, he defended his decision to contest the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, stating that the goal is to present a united front against the BJP and minimise their seats.

Speaking to journalists, Omar also said that the alliance was definitely needed in Jammu, including in Pir Panchal, and Chenab. “Our efforts are meant to have a united front against the BJP and we make sure that they win as few seats as possible”, he said.

Polling in Jammu and Kashmir will be conducted in three phases on September 18, 25, and October 1. The counting of votes will take place on October 4.

Jammu and Kashmir is expected to witness multi-cornered contests on most seats. It is the first assembly poll since the abrogation of Article 370.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday issued the notification for the filing of nomination papers by the candidates for the second phase of assembly elections in J-K. As many as 26 assembly constituencies will go to polls in the second phase of elections.

As per the notification, the last date for filing the nomination will be September 5, while scrutiny will be done on September 6. The last date for the withdrawal of candidatures is September 9.

In the 2014 Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the PDP won 28 seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 25, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference won 15, and the Congress won 12.

The PDP and BJP formed a coalition government led by Mufti Mohammed Sayeed. However, in 2018, the BJP pulled back from the alliance after Mehbooba Mufti took over following the demise of Mufti Mohammad.

In the Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year, the BJP won both the seats in Jammu, again demonstrating its strong support in the region. The National Conference also won two seats. The votes will be counted on October 4. (ANI)
