Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik on Monday condemned the police ‘highhandedness’ and ‘anti-Muslim’ approach by PDP-BJP government.In a statement issued to KNS, Malik said, “From a long time Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing a communal disparity by Indian rulers and the government in the state who on one hand are seen facilitating Amarnath Yatra, Deshera etc. but on the other hand use brutal force to stop Muslim rituals and days like Eid, Milad, un Nabi (SAW) and Muharam in Jammu Kashmir.” Malik said that Kashmiri Muslims are not averse to facilitating any religious ritual and have always stood for religious harmony and equality but facts speak volumes about the disparity being practiced by Indian state and the government in the state when it comes to Muslims and rituals related to them. He said that today he reached Hyderpora to participate in a Seerat-I-Nabi (SAW) conference organized by Tehreek I Hurriyat but police and forces stopped him and after 15 minutes asked him to leave as this indoor conference was banned under the garb of law and order by the shameless rulers.
Malik said that one is surprised to know that how can an indoor Conference on Seerat-i-Nabi (SAW) cause a law and order problem and how low can these PDP rulers stoop for their lust of power and authority.He said that the way Muslims are being ill-treated by PDP-BJP rulers in Jammu Kashmir that too at the behest of RSS is highly condemnable and it has actually exposed the deceitful politics of rulers.JKLF chief said that using police might to stop Eid Nimaz, Muharam processions , Seerat programs and Milad Jalsas shows the acrimony of Indian state and the government in the state with Muslims of Jammu Kashmir but these ‘shameless’ rulers should know that their tyrannical and communal acts cannot deter us from perusing the path of truth and freedom. Malik said, “Islam and prophet of Islam (SAW) has taught us to remain steadfast on the path of truth and resistance against oppression, he has taught us to be upright, love humanity, shun cowardice and always side with the oppressed and today when we are observing the birthday of our great Prophet last messenger of Allah (SAW) we all should pledge to follow his Seerat and Sunnah (prophets way of life) and his worthy teachings and shun the path of ignorance and innovations (Bid'ah).”
Meanwhile, a high level JKLF delegation comprising of JKLF leader Zahoor Ahmad Butt, district presidents Abdul Sattar and Javed Ahmad Butt today visited Husanpora Arwani, Kaimoh Kulgam, Naein and Kakpora Pulwama.“Delegation visited the families of recently martyred youth Shaheed Majid Zargar, Shaheed Jehangeer Ahmad, Shaheed Rayees Ahmad and Shaheed Arif Amin shah of Sangam,” JKLF spokesman said.Delegation leader Zahoor Ahmad Butt while paying rich tributes to slain youth said, “By mutilating the dead bodies of martyrs’ police, SOG and other Indian forces have actually shown their ugly sadist face to the whole world.”He said that “this shameful act is against all norms of humanity and international laws and the people who have committed this heinous inhuman act cannot be termed as humans.” JKLF leader said that a struggle that has been nourished by such a sacred blood will never fail and the last triumph will belong to the oppressed nation of Kashmir.Delegation also met with those whose houses were damaged by Indian forces at Husanpora and expressed solidarity with them.
