She said the Modi-led Indian government is exploiting the case for electoral gains by accelerating the execution proceedings against Yasin Malik ahead of elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeven successive Indian Prime Ministers, including Atal Bihari Vajpayee, trusted him for peace-building. To now brand him a terrorist and hang him is hypocrisy that threatens to bury reconciliation,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Mushaal further said that Modi\u2019s revocation of Articles 370 and 35A has already inflamed tensions in the region, and Yasin Malik\u2019s execution would push the subcontinent \u201cdangerously close to catastrophe\u201d. \u201cThe timing of this hearing is no coincidence, it coincides with elections. History shows that war hysteria or accelerated hanging proceedings are used for political gain. This misuse of courts risks dragging Pakistan and India back to the brink of war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not just about Yasin\u2014it is about peace and humanity,\u201d she stressed. \u201cHis execution will kill the last hope for peace in South Asia. Calling a leader who renounced violence and embraced dialogue a terrorist is a great betrayal of history\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the human cost, Mushaal spoke of their 13-year-old daughter Raziyah Sultana, who has not seen her father for 11 years. \u201cShe sleeps with his photo under her pillow, and writes letters to her father she cannot send,\u201d Mushaal said.<\/p>\n<p>Mushaal Malik appealed to the international community, world leaders and human rights organizaitons to intervene urgently to stop Yasin Malik\u2019s execution and play their role in safeguarding peace in the\u00a0region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Mushaal Hussein Malik, wife of jailed Kashmiri resistance leader Muhammad Yasin Malik and Chairperson of the Peace and Culture Organization, has warned that her husband\u2019s execution would extinguish the last remaining hope for peace in South Asia and plunge the region into peril.
