The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leaders have expressed concern over India making illegally detained party Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik the worst victim of political vendetta for electoral scoring.
The concern was expressed during a virtual meeting of the JKLF advisory council, which was presided over by the head of the council, Muham-mad Rafiq Dar, and it was attended by various party activists.
The advisory council condemned Indian attitude towards JKLF Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik, who has been languishing in Tihar Jail for the past five years.
The leaders criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party for targeting Yasin Malik to get victory in upcoming general elections. The JKLF leadership appealed to international human rights organizations to urgently intervene to save Malik’s life, expressing concern over the Modi government’s decision to convert his life sentence into death through judiciary.
