“I vividly recall the fearless and selfless dedication with which my father championed the causes of the voiceless from all walks of life, particularly those unjustly subjected to the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act (PSA), without any malafide intention,” advocate Umair Ronga recently told The Quint. He added,
“He just wanted to help those people live with dignity.”
It’s been exactly a month since Umair’s 70-year-old father NA Ronga – who’s an advocate at the Jammu and Kashmir High Court and chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association (HCBA) – was detained under the same law.
The PSA is a preventive detention legislation that allows the State to detain an individual for as long as two years (per PSA order) before a crime has been committed.
