India Playing with Fire by Oppressing New Generation of Kashmiris: Yasin Malik

In Kashmir India follows no rules, but the law of jungle Yasin Malik while talking to the parents of minor Wasim Bashir Sofi of Pulwama

Srinagar: By oppressing and terrorizing Kashmiri youth, India and its Kashmiri stooges are actually playing with fire and its consequences will be fatal. This was stated by the chairman Jammu Kashmir liberation front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik while speaking to the parents of minor Wasim Bashir Sofi of Pulwama who was arrested under PSA and sent to Kuthwa jail recently.

Yasin Malik said that innocent Wasim Bashir and hundreds like him are being constantly terrorized, oppressed, harassed, tortured and jailed and by this policy of oppression India and its Kashmiri puppets are perusing a policy of pushing the new generation of Kashmiris to the wall and thus pushing them to the path of violence. Yasin Malik said that Indian rulers pursued the same policy of terrorizing peaceful youth in 1984, 85, 86 and 87 and hundreds of youth among which I was also one, were tortured in interrogation centers like Red 16, Jammu jail and Hira Nagar and this unilateral violence of Indian state pushed the youth to a new revolution and in 1988 Kashmir witnessed the start of armed struggle.

Yasin Malik said that today again the policy of terrorizing peaceful youth is being followed again; today Kashmiri youth are being tortured, harassed, humiliated, jailed and oppressed and thus pushed to the wall. Yasin Malik said that this policy of oppression may prove very fatal and it can push these peaceful youth to another revolution and path of violence. He said that this situation will not be good for anyone but a state that is concerned with only keeping its illegal occupation intact, and bureaucrats, officers, officials and politicians for whom terrorizing Kashmiris is the only short cut for getting power, prizes, awards and rewards does not now humanity and civilized behaviors. They are hell bent upon terrorizing, humiliating and oppressing Kashmiri youth so that they are forced to peruse violent path.

Yasin Malik said that India by harassing young men and women, by torturing them and putting them in jails and by inflicting financial, mental harassment  to their families have in past gained nothing and in future also this policy of oppression will fail. He said that today our innocent teenage students are being sent to jail without any trail and even Indian Supreme Court ruling which has categorically barred rulers from sending any one to jail without trail are being scrambled under feet by authorities.

Yasin said that it is a fact that in Kashmir India follows no rules, here only the law of jungle is being applied and practiced and people of Jammu Kashmir are being terrorized through these jungle laws. He said that if India and its Kashmiri stooges think that through these oppressive measures they can bring the freedom struggle of Kashmiris to an end or even can harm or weaken it, they are living in a fool’s paradise. Freedom movements and peoples’ resolve gets much stronger by oppressions and tyrannical acts, said Yasin. He assured the father and mother of minor Wasim Bashir Sofi that every effort to secure his release from jail will be done and this case will be taken at every appropriate forum and institution. It is worth to mention that minor Wasim Bashir Sofi was recently arrested by police from Pulwama and he was slapped PSA and sent to Kuthwa jail. According to his birth certificate, school and Adhaar card records his age is only 16 years.
