Public Safety Act draconian, says M K Stalin

CHENNAI: Describing the Public Safety Act as draconian, the DMK on Saturday slammed the Centre for slapping PSA on Kashmiri leaders and former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti. Party president M K Stalin demanded their immediate release, charging that their detention violated the fundamental right of freedom. The Centre had booked the two leaders under the stringent Act on February 6. Such draconian laws could be imposed in any state and against any leader. It is dangerous for the Centre-state relations, said Stalin.
