Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, the illegally detained Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik, has said that a military and police operation has been launched under the garb of sham elections in the territory.
Muhammad Yasin Malik in a statement issued in Srinagar said, on one hand, the authorities are talking about upholding of democracy, while on the other, they have started a spree of arrests and other undemocratic measures.
He said India has always portrayed these elections as being a vote in favour of its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir. “This election process, be it for assembly, Indian parliament, municipality or Panchayats, is actually responsible for our miseries as assemblies and forums created by this process formulate and implement laws to put curbs on people, inflict more and more suffering on them,” he added.
