SRINAGAR, Jun 16: JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik along with a senior party member Ghulam Mohammad Dar was arrested by police today.
Reports said that they were arrested when police raided JKLF office at Abi Guzar Srinagar just before Friday prayers. They were lodged in Kothibagh police station and later shifted to central jail Srinagar on judicial remand till June 19.
Before his arrest, JKLF chairman while talking to media said that innocent killings in Kashmir are continuing unabated and holy month of Ramazan has actually seen a rise in this “ugly phenomenon.”
He said that Indian army, police and forces are taking “sadistic pleasure while continuing their killing spree in Kashmir in the holy month of Ramazan.” Yasin said yesterday evening a young man from Bandipora, Naseer Ahmad was brutally killed by security forces just before Iftaar at Rangreth and today at Arwani another young man Muhammad Ashraf has been killed and dozens critically injured.
He alleged that RSS backed and inspired fascists are taking sadistic pleasure by spilling blood of Kashmiri Muslims and killing with impunity is continuing unabated. He said that on the one hand Indian government "is using brute force against Kashmiris and on the other hand NIA terrorism and GST economic aggression are also being employed to weaken and defeat Kashmiri determination."
