AAP seeks special J&K assembly session over MLA Mehrajs arrest, urges CM Omar to visit him in Jail
SRINAGAR: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called on the Omar Abdullah-led government to convene a special session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly following the arrest of AAP MLA from Doda, Mehraj Malik. The party has also appealed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to visit the detained legislator in Kathua Jail. Our simple appeal to the Omar Abdullah government is to convene an emergency Assembly session on the arrest of AAP MLA Mehraj Malik, AAP spokesperson Muddasir Hassan told TNIE . Mehraj Malik was arrested on Monday and booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA) after a verbal altercation with Doda Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh over the shifting of a primary health centre. The MLA allegedly used abusive language during the exchange, leading to his arrest and detention under PSA, which permits detention without charge or trial for up to two years. Hassan said the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly should pass a resolution denouncing the arrest and the use of PSA against an elected representative. AAP leaders detained to thwart protest against Doda MLA Mehraj Malik's arrest The AAP also urged the Chief Minister to personally meet Malik in Kathua Jail, as no one has been permitted to visit him since his arrest. Maliks father has appealed for his release, expressing concern over his sons family, which includes four daughtersthe youngest being just two-and-a-half months old. The CM should also visit Doda and take stock of the situation in the district, Hassan added. Tensions have flared in Doda since the MLAs arrest. Authorities have imposed curfew, shut down educational institutions, and suspended internet services in an effort to prevent protests. Despite restrictions, residents have taken to the streets, and many protestors have been detained. According to Hassan, over 200250 people have been picked up by police in Maliks native area of Bhalessa, and the whereabouts of some remain unknown. He also claimed that more than 15 FIRs have been filed against protestors. The AAPs legal team is currently exploring legal avenues to challenge both the arrest and the PSA detention of the MLA. AAP MLA Mehraj Malik booked under Public Safety Act shifted to J&K's Kathua jail; internet suspended in Doda Meanwhile, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who was detained along with other party leaders at a guest house in Srinagar and barred from holding a protest or press conference on the issue, has levelled serious allegations against the BJP. At a press conference in Delhi, Singh accused the BJP of including former Pakistan-trained militants in its Jammu and Kashmir unit. He named several individuals with alleged militant backgrounds now holding key positions in the party, including Abdul Rehman Lone (District President, Kupwara), Fayaz Ahmad Nazar (General Secretary, Baramulla), Abdul Rehman Tikri (District President, Bandipora), and Abdul Majeed Mir (Vice Chairman, Ganderbal Municipal Committee), among others. Singh also alleged that former Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Talib Hussain Shah, currently BJP Minority Morcha IT Cell Head, has appeared in photographs standing behind Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The AAP will continue its fight for Mehraj Maliks release, from the streets to Parliament, and from the High Court to the Supreme Court, Singh asserted.

SRINAGAR: Sitting AAP MLA Mehraj Malik who was arrested and booked under the J&K Public Safety Act, 1978 on Monday, has been shifted to Kathua jail. Internet has been suspended in many parts of the Doda district in anticipation of planned protests by AAP supporters. Mehraj, who had defeated BJPs Gajay Singh Rana by 4,538 votes to win Doda Assembly seat in last years Assembly polls, was yesterday booked under provision of J&K Public Safety Act, 1978, on the grounds of his activities being prejudicial to the maintenance of public order. After his arrest and booking under PSA, Malik was shifted to Bhaderwah district jail, and later in the evening, was shifted to District Kathua jail in neighbouring Kathua district. At midnight, he was taken to Government Medical College Kathua, where his medical check-up was conducted. After the check up, police then shifted him to District Kathua jail and lodged him there. Some of his supporters were present near the district jail Kathua and chanted slogans like, Lok Tantra Ki Hatya Bandh Karo (stop killing democracy). The authorities have suspended internet services in many parts of the Doda district on Tuesday. The AAP has called for protests against the MLAs arrest and authorities have deployed police and paramilitary personnel in strength in some sensitive areas. The MLAs supporters had also held protests at some places in the district yesterday after his detention and booking under PSA. Mehraj is the first sitting MLA in J&K to be booked under stringent PSA that allows detention upto two year without charge or trial. According to PSA order issued by District Magistrate Doda Harvinder Singh, invoking PSA against the MLA has been taken after due consideration of all relevant materials, reports, and circumstances that clearly establish that the continuance of such activities by the MLA posed a great threat to peace, public order and tranquillity in the district. Since Mehraj is an MLA, DC Doda had informed J&K Legislative Assembly Speaker about booking of the MLA under PSA. According to DC, the preventive detention under the PSA was found necessary in the interest of maintaining public order and safeguarding law and order in the region. The firebrand AAP MLA, who had earlier extended support to Omar Abdullah in government formation but in June this year withdrew support to the government, had been pressing the Deputy Commissioner Doda for shifting the primary health to a centrally located place. He had allegedly used abusive language against the DC for not shifting the health centre from its present location. The DC had claimed that the MLA wanted the administration to allow the sub-centre to function in a building built by one of his supporters on state land and pay him monthly rent. After the incident, administration had registered FIR against him and five of his supporters About 18 FIRs have been registered against Malik, who has courted controversies with his statements and abusive language. The arrest of Mehraj and booking him under PSA has drawn strong criticism from political leaders in J&K. There is no justification for detaining Mehraj Malik under PSA. Hes not a threat to public safety & using this discredited law to detain him is wrong. If the unelected government can use its powers against an elected representative like this then how does anyone expect the people of J&K to continue to have faith in democracy, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.

MLA ? , AAP https://t.co/7mzqQ0Pfhp Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) September 8, 2025 J&K Congress leader Ghulam Ahmed Mir while condemning unjust detention of MLA Mehraj under PSA said, This undemocratic act undermines the will of the people & erodes faith in our institutions. I demand his immediate release & call for united opposition to such authoritarianism. PDP MLA Rafiq Ahmed Naik described the imposition of PSA on elected representative as a brazen attack on the very spirit of democracy. Using draconian laws against an elected leader sets a dangerous and alarming precedent. In a true democracy, dissent must be confronted with dialogue and debate, not criminalised and suppressed, he said. Peoples Conference president and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone said the will of the people of J&K continues to be subservient. What is the purpose of holding elections if an elected representative is denied the right to express his sentiments. This is a soulless democracy, Lone said and warned such measures only deepen the crisis of credibility facing the democratic institutions in the region. Former Minister and J&K Apni Party leader Ghulam Hassan Mir said, If the MLA had committed any offence, he should have been charged under the appropriate laws. There was no need to impose such a harsh law, under which he could be kept in jail without trial.

Congress leader files complaint against ex- Kerala minister for sexual misconduct
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A Congress leader has filed a complaint against former minister and CPM leader Kadakampally Surendran for alleged sexual misconduct against an ex-employee of the UAE consulate in what appears to be a move meant to help the party box out of the conundrum brought about by the Rahul Mamkootathil episode. In a tit-for-tat response to the police registering a case against Rahul on charges of stalking women, M Muneer, vice-president of Thiruvananthapuram district Congress committee, filed a complaint with the state police chief seeking action against Kadakampally for sexually harassing a former staff member of the UAE consulate in Thiruvananthapuram. The complainant said the victim, who had also worked on a contractual basis under the IT department, gave interviews to the media in October 2022 alleging that Kadakampally had sexually misbehaved with her. The complainant also said the victim had alleged that the ex-minister had forced her to have phone sex and invited her to a hotel room with sinister intentions. The complainant further alleged that Kadakampally used to collect phone numbers of the women who used to approach him for help, and talked to them in a lewd manner. Such messages he had sent have come to the fore through the media. The complainant also accused the former minister of posing a threat to the honour of women, irrespective of their age. Though her name was not taken, the complaint by the Congress leader was based on allegations earlier raised by Swapna Suresh, who is also an accused in the sensational gold-smuggling case. Swapna had alleged that Kadakampally made sexual advances towards her when she was working in the UAE Consulate. Talking to media, Swapna reiterated that she stood by her statements against the Kazhakootam MLA, but refused to comment on the complaint filed by the Congress leader. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader M M Hassan has raised a few eyebrows as he criticised the female party leaders, who openly came out against Rahul. Hassan said it was wrong for the leaders to react publicly before the party officially took a stand on the matter. Terming the remarks made by a section of female leaders against Rahul as their personal opinion, Hassan said the party will take the final call. Hassan also criticised CM Pinarayi Vijayan, who had urged Rahul to step down as MLA, and said the CM raised such a demand while protecting the leaders of his coalition, who are facing sexual harassment allegations.

A mechanical engineer by qualification, the 34-year-old grandson of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda and a former MP, Prajwal Revanna is now a convicted rapist and lodged in Bengaluru Central Prison as prisoner number 15528. On August 2, the MLA/MP court in Bengaluru sentenced Prajwal to life imprisonment and fined Rs 11 lakh for raping a 47-year-old domestic worker in Mysuru and recording the assault. Of the four rape and sexual abuse cases against him, this was the first case (rape) that led to trial and conviction. The fine will be paid as compensation to the survivor a daily wage worker, who had the spine of steel and had withstood shame, agony, social ostracisation and fear of the backlash from the political elite. Pronouncing the maximum sentence of life imprisonment following his conviction in rape, Sessions Judge Santosh Gajanana Bhat, in his 466-page judgement, held that as an MP, Prajwal wielded his political and social dominance to violate a woman employed in his household, coercing her into silence through fear, shame, and manipulation. What are the safeguards against an arbitrary exercise of power? The question posed in the judgement echoed through generational trauma of sexual exploitation of disempowered women by the rich and entitled. What would be the just compensation that can be awarded is a question that requires to be determined; the tone of the verdict is as poignant as it is pertinent. Prajwal, a member of the 17th Lok Sabha from Hassan constituency the heartland of Janata Dal (Secular) of his grandfathers making was once the third youngest MP. He hails from the affluent, being the grandson of Deve Gowda the Mannina Maga (son of the soil) son of former Karnataka minister, HD Revanna and nephew of Union minister and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy. A graduate from Bangalore Institute of Technology, Prajwal discontinued his MTech course in Australia to help his grandfather with the 2014 Lok Sabha election from the JD(S) home turf Hassan. The latter won the election. Based on a family decision, Prajwal contested the 2019 Parliament elections and emerged the sole winner in the six out of the 28 Lok Sabha seats contested by the JD(S). Prajwal owed his electoral debut to his grandfather, who gave up Hassan to pave way for the son to rise. Deve Gowda, who instead contested from Tumakaru, lost to the BJP. Prajwals rise in politics was as sudden as is his downfall. In 2023, based on two petitions, the HC of Karnataka declared his election null and void, directing the EC to take action against Prajwal for election malpractice. His 2024 Lok Sabha campaign was marred amid the sudden circulation of pen drives in Hassan containing videos of rape and sexual assault, which Prajwal allegedly shot a week before the Lok Sabha polls. On April 20, his election agent filed an FIR claiming foul play behind the videos. On April 26, Prajwal left the country on a diplomatic passport, soon after polling. On April 27, the Karnataka government formed an SIT to probe the charges against Prajwal Revanna. Three days later, he was suspended by the JD(S). On May 5, the victim lodged a police complaint, alleging sexual violation by Prajwal. On May 31, after a Blue Corner Notice was issued against him, Prajwal returned to India to face probe. The SIT chargesheeted him on September 8. His bail plea was junked by the Supreme Court in November. Trial in the case, which began on May 2 this year, concluded on July 18. Prajwal was convicted on August 1 and sentenced for life the next day.

Congress flags concern over women's safety in BJP states, seeks fast-track courts to deal with cases
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Sunday slammed the BJP over recent incidents of crimes against women in states ruled by the saffron party, and demanded proper compensation and security for the victims' families as well as fast-track courts to deal with such cases. Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba attacked the BJP over the death of a 15-year-old girl from Odisha , who was allegedly set on fire by three unidentified miscreants in Puri district. The girl succumbed to her burn injury while undergoing treatment in AIIMS Delhi. You failed to catch the criminals and get them punished. The daughter died and today the police says that no one was involved in this, she said at a press conference here. ' ' , pic.twitter.com/mpjQhztxnB Congress (@INCIndia) August 3, 2025 Lamba also pointed out that during the Assembly session in Madhya Pradesh, Congress MLA Arif Masood asked how many SC-ST women were raped in the state from 2022 to 2024, and the answer was 7,418. A girl from Odisha died. Earlier, a girl studying in Fakir Mohan College alleged sexual harassment but did not get justice. She set herself on fire. That girl died in Bhubaneswar and now a 15-year-old girl has died in AIIMS Delhi, Lamba said. In the name of religion in Chhattisgarh, police arrested our sisters associated with Christian missionaries, she said. Today, we are once again ashamed. In Ahmedabad, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a shameful poster has been put up by the traffic police, which states that daughters in Gujarat should not go out of their homes. If they go out and go to a party at night, they can be raped, the Congress leader said, as she showed a photograph of the poster. Now I come to the case of Karnataka. Prajwal Revanna from Hassan has been convicted of rape . You know that Prajwal Revanna is a mass rapist... Prime Minister Narendra Modi had campaigned for him and sought votes, Lamba said. But today I feel proud to tell you that Rahul Gandhi ji took this issue seriously, and told the Congress government in Karnataka not to come under any pressure because Prajwal Ravanna has the support of two prime ministers... one former and the current. Revanna has now been sentenced to life imprisonment, she added. Women's safety remains a serious issue in the country and that is why Mahila Congress will continue its 'Nyay March', Lamba said. Police are trying to crush the demand for justice but we are not going to stop. Mahila Congress has decided to ensure justice for the victims and punishment for the culprits. Our demands are -- victims' families must be given security and proper compensation, and cases related to women's safety should be tried in fast-track courts and justice be given to the victims, she said.

He was found guilty in the first case for allegedly raping his former maid at his farmhouse and recording an obscene video of the act.
