ISLAMABAD, Jun 14 (APP): The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir
Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik, has said that
exemplary unity among the resistance leadership has unnerved
Indian rulers and their stooges in the territory and they are
desperately trying to break it.
According to Kashmir Media Service,Muhammad Yasin Malik said this
while talking to reporters before his arrest by Indian police from his
party office in Srinagar.
He said that every peaceful political activity in Indian
occupied Kashmir had been banned by the so-called biggest
democracy of the world and this suppression was taking extremely
ugly turn as condolences meetings, social programs and even
personal meetings between two people were being halted and barred
by Indian police.
He said, Indian rulers and their puppets are not allowing
any meeting between the leadership and every time when there is a
programme in which these leaders can meet is barred and leadership
is arrested. He said that the rulers who had unleashed such
suppression and had trampled every democratic norm in Kashmir had
no moral justification to claim their country as the largest
democracy of the world.
The JKLF Chairman asked the Kashmiri people to remain
steadfast and uphold unity at every cost. “Damaging our unity is
the main objective of our adversary and it is our moral and
national duty to remain vigilant and safeguard this unity at every
cost,” he added.
Yasin Malik was arrested by the police when he was about to
leave for Aali Masjid to participate in a memorial meeting about
renowned Kashmiri politician, religious and social leader, Mirwaiz
Maulana Yousuf Shah, and was lodged at Kothi Bagh Police Station.
Paying rich tributes to Maulana Yousuf Shah, he said that the
deceased led the Kashmiris on every front and till his last breath
remained steadfast for the Kashmir cause.
The JKLF Chairman also condemned the assault of Indian army
on the residents of Turkawangam area of Shopian where Indian
forces during a crackdown operation attacked common people with
bonnets, batons and other arms and injured dozens of men, women
and children. This is a glaring example of state terrorism which
is highly condemnable, he added.
