Srinagar: Demanding an end to their detention, former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) minister Altaf Bukhari said on Saturday that the slapping of the Public Safety Act (PSA) on former chief ministers – Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah, is “undemocratic”. “There is no place for detaining political representatives under PSA in a democracy,” Bukhari told IANS. Bukhari demanded a level playing field for all political parties for the revival of a democratic process in Jammu and Kashmir.

Releasing them all at an earliest will not only provide the much needed succour to their families but will indisputably grant a lease of life to the stalled democratic process in J&K,” Bukhari remarked.
