ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (Yasin Malik) JKLF-Y has announced to host a conference titled “Save Yasin Malik” in the federal capital on Tuesday, August 26, JKLF-Y officially announced on Friday.
The organization’s Chief Spokesman Muhammad Rafiq Dar said in a statement issued here that Yasin Malik has been the worst victim of political vendetta at the hands of the Indian government.
JKLF-Y accused India of maneuvering to covert life imprisonment of party’s incarcerated Supremo Yasin Malik to capital punishment.
“For the purpose of raising Yasin Malik’s voice based on truth and justice, and bringing the undemocratic and inhumane measures of the Indian government against him to the attention of the international community, the JKLF has decided to host a conference titled “Save Yasin Malik” on Tuesday,” the Spokesman stated.
“In addition to influential political leaders, prominent representatives from the journalist community, human rights organizations and civil society are invited to the conference,” the central spokesman said.
He said a committee headed by Saleem Haroon, the central vice chairman of the JKLF, has been tasked to finalize the arrangements for the conference.
Rafiq Dar said the scheduled conference is expected to announce important programs and initiatives of national and international nature.
He termed Indian attempt to convert his life imprisonment into death sentence a blatant injustice.
Yasin Malik is the guardian of people’s rights in Jammu Kashmir, he said adding that the JKLF has decided to organize “Save Yasin Malik” conference to raise his voice worldwide.
Yasin Malik enjoys overwhelming support
The spokesman said that Yasin Malik, who enjoys the overwhelming support of the people of the State, has become a champion and metaphor for national independence of Jammu Kashmir and people’s right to self-determination.
By taking such steps against Yasin Malik, the Indian government is actually trying to suppress a strong and powerful voice for public rights in the State, Rafiq Dar added.
