ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has expressed serious concern over continued illegal detention of its ailing Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik.
The JKLF spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said that Yasin Malik was going to Soura hospital to undergo a check-up of his injured neck but Indian police arrested him, KMS reported.
He said for the whole night the JKLF Chief was writhing in pain but the police at the behest of callous rulers of the territory refused to provide him any medical facility. “Despite his ill heath, Yasin Malik has not been taken to any doctor or hospital for treatment,” he said.
The spokesman warned the occupation authorities of serious consequences if anything untoward happened to the party chief.
He said JKLF Vice Chairman, Showkat Ahmad Bakhshi, continued to remain under house arrest while party activists, Muhammad Ramzam Sofi and Hafizullah Sofi, were arrested by the police from their residences in Zainakot area of Srinagar.
Meanwhile, the JKLF said that Yasin Malik condemned the brutal use of force against Muharram mourners in Srinagar. He termed the ban on Muharram processions, imposition of curfew and restrictions and carrying out of arrests and nocturnal raids by Indian forces as reflection of frustration of the occupation authorities.
Yasin Malik also paid rich tributes to the martyrs of Bijbehara massacre. “Massacres like that at Bijbehara, Batamaloo by-pass, Gawkadal, Sailan Poonch, Bhaderwah, Zakoora and other places are examples of Indian oppression in Kashmir,” he added.
