Challenging the detention of its Jammu and Kashmir unit president and sitting MLA Mehraj Malik under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced a 10-member legal team. The announcement came on Sunday.
The 37-year-old Malik was detained on September 8 in Doda for allegedly disturbing public order in the district. His detention sparked violent protests, following which authorities imposed prohibitory restrictions and snapped mobile internet and broadband services.
Writing in a post on X, the senior AAP leader and former Delhi minister Imran Hussain announced a legal team to fight Malik’s case in the court.
“AAP stands strong with our MLA Mehraj Malik, arrested under the PSA. A strong legal team led by Senior Advocate Nirmal K Kotwal with Adv Muzaffar Khan, Adv Sheik Shakeel Ahmad, and Adv Appu Singh (Assisting Counsel), supported by Arvind Bandral, Joginder Singh Thakur, Gaurav Sarangal, Sandeep Sharma, Asim Hashmi, and M Tariq Mughal, will fight this case,” Hussain said.
AAP also has the support of its national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, who said, "I have full hope that Mehraj Malik will get justice and he will come out soon.”
