Srinagar, March 2 : “Protest by Hindu chauvinists led by BJP leaders in support of a rapist and criminal is the height of shamelessness. The repression unleashed upon Kashmiri prisoners is indicative of the undemocratic attitude of so-called rulers. Kulgam youth used as forced labour by Indian army is a glaring example of Indian colonial mindset,” said the chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik on Friday.
A JKLF statement, said that on JRL call, party leaders and activists gathered at Maisuma Lal Chowk and protested against the shifting of many inmates to Jammu jails, rallies by “chauvinists” in favour of the rapist and killer of innocent Muslim girl Asifa and other “oppressive” measures by Indian forces.
Led by JKLF zonal president, Noor Muhammad Kalwal, the protesters took out a rally from Madeena Chowk and marched towards Budshah Chowk where they held a sit-in, the statement said.
Malik in a statement said that Kashmiri Muslims are closely watching the situation in Jammu and will not allow anyone to inflict harm on any Muslim there. He said that an innocent girl was raped and murdered by a savage in uniform and subsequently arrested by police.
“But ironically, those in power at Delhi and Srinagar who proclaim to follow revered Sita and Radha instead of supporting the victim are brazenly supporting her rapist and killer. Saner people of Jammu should realize that this brazen support of a murderer and rapist is actually like putting a black stain on humanity,” he said.
He said that today when these reprehensible protests are held, no Indian media channel or growling anchors who miss no opportunity to defame Kashmiri Muslims are seen shouting on it which actually is showing their real face.
“The communal fascist forces, their police, and agencies should know that any untoward against Jammu Muslims will not be tolerated by Kashmiri Muslims and if these anti-Muslim man-oeuvres do not stop immediately, Kashmiri Muslims will be forced to launch a protest campaign to save their brethren in Jammu,” JKLF chief warned.
