Jammu: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Modi-led BJP regime has detained Meraj Malik, the lone Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Doda, under the black law Public Safety Act (PSA) in a blatant attempt to silence dissent and crush Kashmiri voices.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Malik was arrested from his constituency in Doda and shifted to jail on the pretext of maintaining \u201cpublic order\u201d. The authorities accused him of \u201cspreading misinformation\u201d and \u201cglorifying freedom fighters\u201d.<\/p>\n

Political observers say detaining an elected legislator under the PSA, which allows imprisonment without trial for up to two years, is an unprecedented act that exposes India\u2019s hollow claims of democracy in the territory. They maintained that Meraj Malik was voicing the long-pending demands of his voters, and his arrest represents a deliberate attempt to crush representative politics in the region.<\/p>\n

They say the arrest has once again exposed the BJP regime\u2019s real face, where even elected Muslim representatives are not spared, and the voice of dissent is crushed under the garb of \u201claw and order.\u201d The development has further deepened public anger in the occupied territory, with calls for intensifying the struggle against India\u2019s settler-colonial agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
