J&K's former CM Omar Abdullah said that the extension of PSA on Mehbooba Mufti as "unbelievably cruel and retrograde decision".
He tweeted, "...nothing she has done or said in any way justifies the way the Indian state has treated her and the others detained."
While Mehbooba Mufti's daughter Iltija tweeted, "Stifling voices of reason has become the norm for the current dispensation esp post illegal scrapping of Article 370."
"Therefore, the extension of my mother's detention doesn't surprise me. Wishful thinking to assume that by smothering any debate on Article 370, the issue will vanish," she said.
On Tuesday, J&K authorities extended the PSA on former CM Mehbooba Mufti for three more months.
