Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) today strongly condemned police raid on the residence of its senior leader and zonal vice-president Muhammad Yasin Butt and alleged ‘harassment’ of his family members.
“The ongoing repression in Kashmir is the worst kind of oppression. Raids and other tactics against political leaders and activists are in every respect condemnable,” a JKLF spokesman said in a statement.
He said that a delegation of JKLF leaders led by vice-chairman advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt today visited the residence of Asif Ahmad at Verinag who was recently killed by the forces. The delegation members expressed solidarity with the bereaved family members and prayed for peace to the departed soul.
He said that the JKLF delegation also visited Breth, Diyalgam, and expressed solidarity with JKLF senior member Bashir Ahmad Butt whose mother breathed her last recently.
