While humbly and politely refusing to meet the proposed delegation comprising of some veteran politicians and members of civil society, JKLF chief, Muhammad Yasin Malik on Monday said that Kashmiris are known for their hospitality and harmony and have never ill-treated any of our guests but at a time when Indian state has waged a war against innocent Kashmiris these kind of gestures and meetings are futile.In a statement issued to KNS, he said that from last 108 days Indian army, forces and police have martyred more than 100 innocents in Jammu Kashmir; more than 20000 are injured among whom about 600 have lost their eye sight due to ‘pellet terrorism’.He said that “Indian forces and police are beating and vandalizing humans, their residential houses, their vehicles, orchards, fruit and crop harvest, rice fields and other properties.”Malik said that nowadays Indian forces have gone berserk and they are attacking humans and their properties like beasts but no one seems to care.
JKLF chief said that from last 3 months in general and particularly from one and a half month, nocturnal raids, crack down of whole localities, arrest spree and booking innocent from 8 year to 85 year old under black law PSA has become an order of the day but no one seems to pay attention to these gross human rights violations.Malik said that after all these oppressive measures rulers have now started taking revenge from government employees and besides terminating many from services have suspend many and arrested their leadership also.Yasin said that all this suppression on one side but the act that has broken the hearts of Kashmiris most is the criminal silence of saner elements and civil society of India that chose to remain silent probably on the pretext of so-called Indian national interest.He said that this silence has created an atmosphere where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has publicly started equating India with Israel.
Malik said that the circumstances in which whole of Jammu Kashmir is reeling in pain and agony, when every household is mourning its dead ones or injured, when our locality is on daily basis hit by Indian oppression and where more than ten thousand people are suffering in jails, interrogation centers and police station and one is concerned about their sufferings.Malik said that “whole Kashmir is bleeding and besides him there are thousands of injured in hospitals and the number of sufferers is much bigger and it will not be possible for any delegation to meet and enquire about all these people therefore our meetings with any Indian delegation or their arriving to enquire about my health at hospital is futile and worthless, and because of all these circumstances we thankfully and humbly reject their offer of meeting.”While terming the statement of NC leader Omer Abdullah in USA in which he had said that solution to Jammu Kashmir issue could be resolved by turning cease fire line (LOC) diving Jammu Kashmir into a permanent border as “absurd and ridiculous”, Malik said that Kashmiris are suffering because of the hypocritical and double faced politics of these pro-India politicians who issue different statements at different places and try to undermine the freedom.
