Srinagar: Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir strongly condemn the Public Safety Act (PSA) slapped on its chief spokesperson Advocate Zahid Ali and terms it muzzling of peaceful voice by “suppressive” tactics.

A statement issued by Jama’at said, under concocted and baseless charges SSP Ganderbal today slapped Public Safety Act (PSA) on party’s chief spokesperson Advocate Zahid Ali who is under police detention since February 22, 2019.

‘Zahid Ali was detained by police during midnight raid from his residence and was shifted to PS Shergadi where he was lodged for hours and then back to PS Kakapora. After a week he was shifted to PS Ganderbal from where he was moved to Central Jail Srinagar’, the statement said.

Today PS Ganderbal has implicated him under “frivolous” charges and slapped PSA on him which speaks volumes about the lawlessness in the valley. Earlier Mufti Mujahid Shabir Falahi was also slapped by PSA and was shifted to Kot Bhalwal Jammu.
