JK being run according to ‘ambitions of police, forces’: JKLF chief
Chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik was arrested by police early morning when he was about to leave for Kulgam today, JKLF spokesman said.
In a statement, the JKLF spokesman said that Malik, Chairman Hurriyat (M) Mirwaiz Muhammad Umer Farooq and leaders from Hurriyat (G) and other leaders from united resistance leadership were scheduled to leave for Kulgam together but police from last night started a spree of arrests and nocturnal raids to foil this program.
The spokesman said that the senior leader and chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Geelani continues to remain under detention at his residence while as Mirwaiz was also put under house detention from last evening.
“Police in large numbers today morning cordoned the residence of Malik who was about to leave for Kulgam and arrested him immediately. He has been lodged at Police station Kothibagh,” the spokesman said.
While condemning the spree of arrests and house detentions, Malik according to the spokesman in his message from incarceration said, “Some days before we heard police authorities saying that peaceful political activities are welcome but within some hours of that statement we have witnessed police rubbishing its own statements and putting a blanket ban on a totally peaceful political act.”
He said that this is the reality of Jammu Kashmir that is ‘run according to the whims and ambitions of police and security forces’ and where no democracy, no civilized norms and no voice of dissent is allowed or respected.
Expressing concern over the growing incidents of firing bullets and pellets on peaceful protestors that too ‘in the garb of armed encounters’, JKLF chief said, “Killings and blinding people is continuing without any pause because rulers have let loose their police and forces and allowed them to kill ,wound or blind whosoever comes in their way.”
He said recent killings of civilians and photographs of a driver who was tortured by RR savages ruthlessly are a glaring example of ‘absurdness of Indian democracy’ in Jammu Kashmir that has only one purpose to serve and that is to provide a legal cover to all these criminal acts of army, forces and police.
While expressing his heartfelt grief over the demise of sister Nazima whose brother Humair Yaseen is in incarceration under black law PSA from October 2016, JKLF chief said, “This sister fell ill from the day her brother was arrested by police but highhandedness and height of the tyranny of PDP led rule is such that her brother was not even allowed to give her funeral a shoulder.”
He said similarly a minor Nihal Mukhtar Khan has been put behind bars by Islamabad police and likewise thousands remain incarcerated in jails and police stations.
Terming the arrest of Dukhtaran-I-Millat chairperson, Asiya Andrabi and her associate Fehmeeda Sofi as ‘undemocratic and unethical’, JKLF chief, “Putting an ailing lady behind bars is yet another example of police Raj in Kashmir.”
JKLF chairman said, “Tyranny, oppression, suppression, arrests and restrictions cannot break the will of a nation that has resolved to keep striving for its freedom from illegal occupation and is rendering valuable sacrifices for the same sacred cause.”
Meanwhile, a JKLF delegation comprising of District president Kulgam, Abdul Sattar along with Nazir Ahmad, Ghulam Hassan, Malik Maqbool and Jehangeer Ahmad today managed to reach Frisal Kulgam and visited the bereaved family of slain Abdul Majeed Sofi there.
Delegation while paying tributes to the slain persons expressed solidarity with their bereaved families.
