JKLF condemns the Indian act of pleading Yasin Malik guilty in a concocted and politically motivated case filed by NIA.
RAWALPINDI,(Parliament Times):Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) in strong words condemns the Indian act of pleading JKLF incarcerated Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik guilty in a concocted, fabricated and politically motivated case of terrorism filed by Indian notorious agency NIA in a court at New Delhi.
JKLF has termed this act of Indian judiciary as immoral, illegal and an act of political vendetta against Yasin Malik that was done on the dictates of Modi led Indian Hindutva government with the aim to silence a popular and the most powerful voice of people’s right for freedom of the internationally disputed State of Jammu Kashmir (JK).
The special representative of Yasin Malik and the chief spokesman of JKLF, Muhammad Rafiq Dar while giving details in a statement said that last week during the second last court hearing of the case the judge of NIA court in New Delhi had asked Yasin Malik for a lawyer to defend him. Yasin Malik in his response to the judge while expressing his disbelief in Indian judiciary because of using unfair means on the behest of government of India said that the case is politically motivated and that the Indian government with the help of Indian judiciary is hell bent upon to punish me for demanding freedom, which in no way is unlawful and undemocratic. Yasin Malik in his response had also repeated that he in protest of use of unfair means by the government of India and on their behest, by the Indian judiciary have decided not to go for a defense lawyer.
According to the spokesman, it is on record that yesterday on 10th May, during the court hearing, Yasin Malik once again repeated the same argument, and while citing the examples of Indian freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and Indian national hero Mahatma Ghandi, asked the judge that if my demand for freedom is a crime then I am ready to face the consequences. Thereby, terming his confession of demand for freedom as confession of charges of the concocted cases leveled against him, the judge illegally and unfairly pleaded him guilty, the statement read.
According to the spokesman, it is worth mentioning that since his arrest on 22nd February 2019, especially after he was shifted to Tihar Jail New Delhi on 10th May 2019, Yasin Malik on witnessing the unfair court processes, and on knowing the ill intentions of the government of India, had decided not to contest these fabricated cases, and in protest withdrew his defense lawyer. After repeatedly turning down his demand of fair trial, he has expressed it time and again that on the behest of RSS backed BJP government the courts have been performing like some Kangaroo Courts. He had already refused to take the services of any lawyer as he has been expressing this opinion that the courts will only do what they are asked to do by the present Indian government, he added. Yasin Malik has been requesting the courts to look into the history of JKLF and his role in the promotion of religious harmony, non-violence and peaceful resolution of Kashmir conflict, and has been requesting the courts to follow the law, the spokesman said.
According to the spokesman, he has always been refuting and rubbishing the charges of terrorism and terror funding leveled against him by infamous NIA and has been terming the court process arbitrary and an act of political victimization.
It is further worth mentioning that Yasin Malik for the last three years has been languishing in solitary confinement in Indian Tihar Jail, New Delhi and is out of contact even with his family. So such stories coming out from the Indian side, like his confession of charges of these concocted cases leveled against him, are untrue, malicious, one sided and biased.
The spokesman has condemned all those propagandists who on the behest of Indian agencies are busy in maligning Yasin Malik on social media and has asked the Kashmiri people not to fall prey to Indian false propaganda and of their well-known stooges living in and outside the State of Jammu Kashmir. The Kashmiri nation living from across the ceasefire line have already rejected these stooges as they are the paid agents of Indian agencies working for India and against our freedom movement.
