Chairman Jammu Kashmir liberation front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik has been placed under house arrest today as police have cordoned his residence and confined him to his room.Meanwhile incarcerated JKLF chairman has strongly condemned the restrictions imposed on the martyrdom day of great Kashmiri leaders’ Mirwaiz Moulana Muhammad Farooq and Khwaja Abdul Gani Lone and termed these restrictions as putting ban on freedom of speech. Yasin Malik said that India and its Kashmiri stooges have choked every little space on peaceful public programs and have virtually turned Kashmir into a military or police garrison. He said that propagating democracy on one hand and not letting people to show their respect towards their martyred leaders on other hand speaks volumes about the hypocritical politics of these rulers. While paying tributes to martyrs Khawaja Abdul Gani lone and Mirwaiz Moulana Mohammad Farooq, Yasin Malik said that great people who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their nation are our national heroes and every Kashmiri is indebted to them.
He said that today on their martyrdom day we pay homage to them and reiterate our pledge to take forward the mission for which these great people strived throughout their life and sacrificed their lives for. While terming the intimidating and abusive statement of BJP minister Lal Singh against Jammu Muslims in which he has asked Jammu Muslims to remember 1947anti–Muslim massacre, as a clear sign of his immoral, unethical character and mental bankruptcy and his parties real face against Muslims, Yasin Malik said that Lal singh like criminal minded and freak should have been either in some mental asylum or jail but unfortunately they are enjoying power and absolute impunity these days. Yasin Malik said that the words uttered by Lal Singh against Jammu Muslims are a manifestation of RSS plans against Muslims of Jammu Kashmir that are being implemented by BJP/PDP alliance in Jammu Kashmir.
He said that such is the height of hooliganism that a minister is directly threatening Jammu Muslims of dire consequences that too without any shame or fear of prosecution. Yasin Malik said that Lal Singh, his party and masters in Delhi and Nagpor should know that today it is not 1947 and people of Kashmir have learned many lessons since then. Today if any Jammu Muslim is touched by any communal, every single Kashmiri Muslim will be at the back of Jammu Muslims and will do whatever it needs to save them from communals like Lal Singh. While assuring Jammu Muslims of every help and support, Yasin Malik said that Jammu brethren will find Kashmiri Muslims at their back always and we today assure them that Lal Singh and people like him will not be allowed to raise their dirty eyes towards Jammu Muslims.
