Chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik on Friday asked both, central and state governments as well as the intermediaries to reveal their original intentions behind contradictory stances.Malik according to the statement issued to KNS was referring to the statement of former Union Minister, Yashwant Sinha wherein he had asked Kashmiris start dialogue with India minus Pakistan.Malik while addressing a Jalsa at Bogam are of South Kashmir’s Kulgam district said, “India broke down the process of talks with Pakistan because Pakistani foreign minister Sartaj Aziz intended to meet Kashmiris and Indian foreign minister Sushma Sawraj said that Kashmiris were no party and there was no need to talk to them.”He said that today Yashwant Sinha is asking them to minus Pakistan and start a dialogue with India. “We Kashmiris want to ask Indians, both the rulers as well as self-proclaimed honest intermediaries to come clean on this and reveal their original intentions behind these contradictory stances,” Malik said.
He said that how can Indians on one day claim Kashmiris to be a non-entity and on the second day Pakistan as irrelevant regarding Jammu Kashmir issue. Malik said that the process of negotiations can only work when we all first respect and then follow the norms of the process and the first and foremost norm of it is to include all parties related to the dispute in it as keeping any of the parties out of it will mean the failure of process.JKLF chairman said that “Kashmir issue can be resolved only when all relevant parties are on board and part of negotiation process and we want to tell India as well as Pakistan that People of Jammu Kashmir are principle party to the dispute on Jammu Kashmir and no solution can be achieved without their active involvement in the process of negotiations.”Asking people to boycott upcoming parliamentary elections, JKLF chairman said, “Elections for Assembly, parliament or Panchayat have been proved as most detrimental to the interests of people of Jammu Kashmir as India claims these as a vote for its occupation on Jammu Kashmir and also assemblies and other forums created through these processes are used to frame and pass black laws like AFSPA, PSA, TADA and POTA against us and also for safeguarding the interests of India and its killer forces.”
Malik said that “we as a nation will have to understand the hypocritical politics of pro-India parties and politicians whose only job is to inflict miseries on us and we should at every cost keep ourselves away from election and power politics.”While paying tributes to recent martyrs like Engineer Basit Rasool Dar, Abu-Bakr and others who laid down their lives during recent days and months, Malik said that these educated young Kashmiris are being pushed to the wall by Indian state and have been left with no other option but to sacrifice their lives for freedom and dignity.He said that “these young martyrs are our real heroes and we salute their grand sacrifices.”Appealing people to maintain unity and steadfastness, JKJLF chairman said that despite oppression and tyranny people of Jammu Kashmir have shown exemplary unity and steadfastness for which this nation deserves kudos.He said that resistance leadership is standing united against Indian hegemony despite all odds and conspiracies to divide them and it is the duty of all to safeguard this unity and oneness.
While terming the ongoing oppression as a war declared by the state against people of Kashmir, JKLF chairman said that small village of Bogam has more than four dozen people including four male members of a family in jails which speaks volumes about the tyrannical attitude of rulers and their administration.JKLF chairman said that as rulers and their police have left no space available for peaceful political activities and even going for condolences has been banned, he has to travel during nights, go underground and take risks to reach to the victims of state oppression and meet people.Meanwhile, JKLF spokesman said that to avoid arrest, JKLF chief had reached Islamabad yesterday night and visited the families of many recent martyrs and expressed solidarity with their bereaved families.“JKLF chairman spent a good time with these families and told them that nation of Kashmir was at their back. He then travelled to Kulgam and reached Bogam where he addresses a mammoth gathering,” the statement reads. “Thousands of Participants in the rally raised high pitched slogans in favor of freedom, martyrs, unity and leadership.
Slogans were also raised against oppression, arrests, killings and suppression unleashed by police, army and forces at the behest of rulers,” spokesman added.Meanwhile, a JKLF delegation comprising of JKLF leaders Muhammad Yasin Butt, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, Sheikh Khalid and Muhammad Amin Magloo today visited Jamia Masjid Srinagar and participated in a Seerat conference there.JKLF leader sheikh Abdul Rashid addressed the conference and emphasized on the need of following the teachings of last messenger of Allah in letter and spirit.Meanwhile, JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik has expressed his heartfelt grief and sorrow over the sad demise of Muhammad Sadiq Ansari who was the father of JKLF senior leader and member of JKLF central committee Advocate Sabir Ansari and also the elder brother of one of the founders of independent Kashmir ideology late Advocate Abdul Khaliq Ansari.While terming his demise as a personal loss, JKLF chairman prayed for his heavenly abode and also for the Sabr I Jamil to his bereaved family.Malik expressed solidarity with the bereaved family especially with Advocate Sabir Ansari.
