Mar 18: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Chaudhary on Wednesday expressed hope that the judiciary will do justice with jailed MLA from Doda Mehraj Malik. Malik, who is the AAP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit president, was detained under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) on September 8 2025, for allegedly disturbing public order and was subsequently lodged in the Kathua jail.

“We are hopeful that the judiciary will do justice in the case of Mehraj Malik as it did in Sonam Wangchuk’s case,” Chaudhary told reporters in Kulgam district.

“The conflict is not limited to one region, as more countries are fighting each other. Earlier leaders, like Vajpayee, spoke about peace. Even our president Farooq Abdullah says war is not a solution. The world leaders will have to stop the wars,” he said. (Agencies)
