Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik has termed the state of disorder and exchange of hostile statements between some resistance parties as most unfortunate and said that at a time when resistance camp is engaged in a rigorous election boycott campaign this disorder and anarchy will benefit none but pro-India parties and politicians.According to a statement issued Malik who is in police custody from last four days while deliberating on the news of infighting between Hurriyat (G) and Hurriyat (M) as published in many news papers, said: “At a time when resistance camp is engaged in exposing the futility of Indian elections, at a time when many leaders and innocent youth are languishing in jails, police stations and torture cells, at a time when resistance camp is gaining a new momentum and people are regrouping around the resistance camp and are expressing their love, faith and devotion with the movement nourished by the sacred blood of martyrs, this disorder and making it public through hostile statements is extremely painful.”

Malik said that at a time when election boycott moment is gaining momentum, these hostile statements can actually bring leniency in the determination of people and even the resolve of political workers and activists in resistance camp can get shattered because of this hostility. He said that Firstly these differences can be and should be resolved in closed rooms but if our worthy leaders still think of putting them in public domain they should at least keep the timings in consideration and at this important  time our whole hearted efforts and energies should be spent on apprising people about the ill consequences of Indian elections and importance of boycotting them .

Malik said that people of Kashmir have shown a positive attitude towards the boycott campaign and at this crucial juncture of history our internal differences will only benefit India and its puppets in Kashmir. Therefore I appeal to worthy leaders to show restraint and stop adverse statements and hostilities.Malik said that we all must also take  a note of Indian media and channels which always black out the news of resistance and killings in Kashmir but today are giving long times and prime space for this news of differences between resistance leaders and are trying to widen the gap between us.Malik while expressing confidence that Hurriyat G, Hurriyat M and other resistance leadership will set aside their differences and work tirelessly for encouraging people of Kashmir to boycott Indian elections said that this will strengthen the determination and resolve of Kashmiris

Malik also condemned the ill treatment of Kashmiri inmates at Tihar jail Delhi and said that Kashmiri prisoners including lifer Javed Ahmad Khan have been shifted from their barracks and their clothes and other necessary things have been snatched and these prisoners are compelled to live without any clothes from last many days.Meanwhile JKLF leaders continued their election boycott campaign and visited many areas in khanyaar constituency in Srinagar today.
