Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik has decried the assault on two Kashmiri students at Mahindergarh, Haryana.
“The attack on Kashmir students in various states is nothing but a sign of growing hooliganism against Kashmiris,” Malik said expressing concern over the plight of Kashmiri prisoners lodged in various prisons within and outside the State.
“RSS backed rulers in India and those at the helm in J&K have adopted a policy of terrorizing Kashmiri Muslims in whatsoever form possible and attacks on Kashmiri students, businessmen, travellers and families across Indian states is part of this wicked plan. Immediately after such attacks, Kashmiri rulers and authorities rush to issue statements of condemnation and probes, but till now no criminal or assailant has been penalized or even booked,” he said.
“On daily basis, we witness attacks on Muslims and Kashmiris by bigot fascist forces and these attacks are a direct consequence of the patronage provided to attackers by present ruling regime at Delhi,” he said.
Condemning the plight of Kashmiri prisoners languishing in different jails including Tihar and also in Jails of Jammu Kashmir especially Udhampur Jail and torture centre of SOG at Aaminoo, Kulgam, JKLF chairman said that “Udhampur Jail has been turned into a torture centre for Kashmiri prisoners where they are beaten, humiliated and subjected to inhuman treatment on daily basis.”
“From almost three months, dozens of Kashmiris including Bilal Ahmad Sheikh, Khalid Ahmad Wagay, Majid Ahmad Zargar, Fahim Ahmad Sheikh, Raof Ahmad Shiekh, Aaquib Ahmad Sofi, Arif Ahmad Dar and others are being kept hostage at SOG camp Aaminoo Kulgam where they are tortured and humiliated on daily basis,” he said.
JKLF chairman said that the families of these inmates are apprehensive for the safety of their loved ones and “we appeal to ICRC to take note of this Indian aggression and try to save the lives of these young and old Kashmiris.”
Meanwhile, Malik expressed his heartfelt grief and sorrow over the demise of Mrs. Padma Jamwal the mother of veteran journalist and editor of Kashmir Times Prabodh Jamwal. “Yasin Malik called Prabodh Jamwal and expressed his condolences over the demise of his mother and prayed for the patience of the bereaved family. Paying rich tributes to the deceased on her social works, Malik hoped that her sons and the rest of family will keep working for the betterment of the society,” front spokesman said.
