Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Yasin Malik was arrested on Friday along with zonal organizer of the outfit Bashir Ahmad Kashmiri.
Both the leaders were shifted to Central Jail Srinagar, said a spokesman.
“Large contingent of police today raided the office of JKLF and arrested Yasin sahib and others,” he said.
Prior to his arrest, Malik told reporters that even tyrant rulers would release inmates on the eve of Eid and other festivals.
“…but new kind of tyrants and oppressors take pleasure from arresting people on these very days,” said Malik.
“Yesterday, an ailing lady Asiya Andrabi was dragged out of hospital and shifted to Jammu jail which shows the ugly tyrant behavior of these new pseudo-democratic oppressors.”
Malik said that atrocities are being committed on Kashmiris to scare them so that resistance against illegal occupation is weakened and defeated.
“It has been a common practice of occupational forces to arrest and stop political activities but the way people are being jailed under black laws actually shows that ruling regime only knows to suppress peaceful voices by military might,” he said.
