A protest demonstration was organized here on Monday under the aegis of Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir against the appeal of NIA to convert the life imprisonment of Kashmiri resistance movement leader Muhammad Yasin Malik into death sentence. A large number of people gathered at Burhan Wani Chowk holding banners and placards besides chanting slogans against BJP led Indian government.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Pasban-e-Hurriyat Uzair Ahmed Ghazali has cautioned that Indian government, NIA and the so-called Indian judiciary should refrain from conspiracies against Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik. He maintained that the demand for the death penalty of Muhammad Yasin Malik was testimony of the malice and hostility of the Indian rulers towards the Kashmiri people.
Ghazali appealed the United Nations, OIC and international human rights organizations to take notice of the reprisals against Yasin Malik and other Kashmiri freedom movement leaders. Usman Ali Hashim said that India’s so-called judiciary was being used by Narendra Modi as the worst war weapon against Kashmiri prisoners.
“After Muhammad Afzal Guru, now Yasin Malik is being targeted for revenge”, he added. Mushtaq-ul-Islam on the occasion said that Yasin Malik was being subjected to the worst revenge for fighting people’s rights, “India cannot weaken the resistance movement with such crude tactics” he reiterated.
