Yasin Malik worst victim of political vendetta by Modi-led Indian govt: JKLF
Islamabad: The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has said that its Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik has been the worst victim of political vendetta at the hands of Narendra Modi-led Indian government.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the JKLF central spokesperson Muhammad Rafiq Dar in a statement in Islamabad lamented that Yasin Malik had been languishing in notorious Indian Tihar Jail for over six consecutive years.
He said Yasin Malik for his political belief was defenselessly and unjustly victimized and imprisoned for life in May 2022 by a Delhi-based special court under the garb of fabricated and politically motivated cases filed against him by the government agencies. The government of India is now hell bent upon converting the said life imprisonment into death penalty, he added.
He described Indian efforts to convert Yasin Malik’s life sentence to death sentence on trumped-up charges as blatant injustice and an eye-opener for civilized nations and international human rights organizations.
The spokesman said Yasin Malik has become a champion and metaphor for people’s right to self-determination. By taking such steps against Yasin Malik, the Indian government is actually trying to suppress a strong and powerful voice for public rights in the occupied territory, Rafiq Dar maintained.
He said the JKLF has decided to host a “Save Yasin Malik Conference” at the Islamabad Hotel on August 26 at 2:30 PM.
In addition to influential political leaders, prominent representatives from the journalist community, human rights organizations and civil society are invited to the conference.
According to the statement, a committee headed by Saleem Haroon, the central vice chairman of the JKLF, has been tasked to finalize the arrangements for the conference.
