Chairman JKLF Muhammad Yasin Malik on Saturday has strongly condemned the booking of JKLF leaders (JKLF) deputy chief organizer Siraj Ud din Mir and district president Baramullah Abdul Rashid Magloo under PSA and shifting them to Kotbalwal jail.

The JKLF spokesman said Police arrested Siraj Ud din Mir in a nocturnal raid on his residence at Karhama Tangmarg on April 2, 2018, while as Abdul Rashid Magloo was arrested from his residence on March 29, 2018.

After keeping them in custody for many days, police yesterday booked them under PSA and shifted them to Kot-balwal jail. Similarly JKLF zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal was arrested by police on 6th April 2018 and bailed out after ten days of incarceration. As he stepped outside central jail Srinagar, he was re-arrested by Maisuma police under some new cases and since then he is also languishing in Police station Kothibagh.

Terming the slapping of  PSA on JKLF leaders Siraj Ud din Mir and Abdul Rashid Magloo and prolonging the incarceration of Noor Muhammad Kalwal by using police tactics, JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik said that highhandedness against peaceful political activists and leaders and use of  tactics to prolong their incarceration is nothing but worst kind of an undemocratic act.

JKLF chairman said that on one hand rulers and their authorities especially police chief recently issued statement about giving space to peaceful political activities and freedom to JRL leaders, but on the other hand same police is employing every foul tactic to terrorize and intimidate political activists.

He said that this ugly behaviour of police is responsible for pushing Kashmiri youth towards a violent mode of resistance and this also is a glaring example of Jammu Kashmir being a police state. He said that a 70 year old political leader Siraj Ud Din Mir who is ailing from many diseases and Abdul Rashid Magloo who met with an accident recently and is taking various medicines were not even allowed to collect their medicines and clothes from their kith and kin and were immediately and secretly rushed to Jammu as if they were some terrorists.

This is the reality of the tall claims of democracy and freedom which they are boasting about and this is the reality of their democracy in Kashmir, asserted Yasin Malik.

Meanwhile, chairman JKLF has expressed his heartfelt grief and sorrow over the demise of famous Kashmiri jurist and judge Jenab Khurshid Ahmad Drabu who breathed his last in London UK. While recalling his personality and love for a free Kashmir, JKLF chairman said that Drabu was a humble soul whose absence will always be felt. While praying for his heavenly abode, JKLF chairman also prayed for the patience of his bereaved family.
