JAMMU, Apr 28: Following the quashing of his detention under Public Safety Act (PSA) by J&K and Ladakh High Court, AAP MLA Mehraj Malik was today released from Kathua jail.
After spending eight months in jail, Malik arrived at his residence in Jammu to a rousing reception with showering of flowers, beating of drums and bursting of crackers by his supporters.
AAP workers distributed sweets amid sloganeering in favour of Malik, as he vowed to continue fight for the people.
Malik was detained last September under PSA for allegedly disturbing public order and was subsequently lodged in Kathua jail.
As the gates of Kathua jail opened this morning to release the AAP leader, numerous people garlanded him and rallied behind him.
“Our struggle will continue. It will not change. It is not a struggle based on politics but on the thoughts and drive of people’s welfare. I urge youth to join politics,” Malik told reporters in Kathua.
When the AAP MLA arrived at his residence in Jammu, he was received by his mother and father, who hugged him amid a tearful welcome.
“When I came out of jail, people understood who was right and who was wrong and framing anyone won’t help,” the AAP MLA said.
