Srinagar: Chairman Jammu Kashmir liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik was today arrested along with several others in an injured condition when they were going towards Baramullah to attend a public Jalsa. Yasin sahib and others were intercepted by Police, SOG,RR and CRPF near Palhalan Pattan as these forces attacked the caravan of JKLF with canes, butts and sticks injuring more than a dozen person including Yasin Malik. On the occasion Yasin sahib was arrested along with Mushtaq Ajmal, Shameem Hussein, Shahid Makaya, Mohammad Irfan Khan, Mohammad Habibullah, Yasir Maqbool the arrested have been shifted to some unknown place. Several JKLF activists and leaders have been injured in police action and many of them have been rished towards the hospital. Along with Yasin sahib among the injured included Imtiyaz Ahmad, Showkat Ahmad Dar, Ashfaq Hussain, Salman Ahmad, Mohammad Irfan Khan, Shahid Makaya, Arshid Ahmad, Owaise Ahmad Khan, Aadil Ahmad, Mohammad Haroon etc. many jouranilts and media person along with some drivers also sustained injuries by police Lathi charge. Police also trashed and damaged many vehicles that were a part of the caravan. Before the arrests Yasin sahib along with others started his journey towards Baramullah early in the morning. Police had laid siege and barricades over the roads leading towards Baramullah.
To avoid arrest, Yasin Malik and others took the route of Soibugh, Sanoor, Wadwan, Magma and Pattan breaking the police cordon and siege at least 15 places before reaching near Palhalan Pattan where this caravan was finally stopped and assaulted.
Condemning the assault on Yasin Malik and his arrest along with several others, JKLF spokesman termed this as a mere frustration of Indian rulers and their Kashmiri stooges. he said that only a few days ago DGP of police had issued a statement in which he to hoodwink international opinion had announced that nobody from resistance camp will be arrested or stopped from performing peaceful political activities but today Yasin sahib and others have been stopped and arrested but also assaulted with rifles and Lathees.
Spokesman said that these arrests and assaults have once again portrayed the frustration of Indian rulers and their Kashmiri puppets who on one hand claim democracy and on other hand stop people from performing democratic peaceful activities.
Spokesman said that on one hand India and its Kashmiri puppets stop arrest and harass resistance leaders and camp from reaching to the people and on other hand arrange full protocol to the public meetings held by pro India and pro election politicians and even drag people to attend their Jalsas. The irony is that after doing all these undemocratic unilateral acts Indian leaders and their kashmiri puppets claim so called victory on resistance movement and term these elections as a vote and mandate for India. Spokesman said that this is most ridiculous and highly condemnable act and India and its Kashmiri puppets must know that their efforts to hoodwink public and international opinion will never succeed.
Spokesman said that by today’s assault on Yasin sahib and his arrest in fact India and its Kashmiri puppets have conceded a defeat before the contest.
As the news of assault on Yasin sahib and others and their arrest reached Baramullah, people in large numbers came out of their homes to protest against this barbaric act of police and SOG. The people including a number of youth marched from Tawheed Ganj raising slogans in favor of Azadi, Yasin sahib, resistance, martyrs and against elections, oppression and arrests and reached bus adda where they were addressed by JKLF leaders Showkat Ahmad Bakhshi, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, Mir Siraj Ud Din Davood, Prof Javed and Bashir Ahmad Kashmiri etc. leaders while condemning the arrests and assault on Yasin sahib and others urged people to keep away from Indian elections as these were just a tool to oppress people of Kashmir till the last reports the protest was going on.
