JKLF refutes Al-Jazeera report on Yasin Malik’s response to Delhi High Court

NIA’s death penalty petition

ISLAMABAD: The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has strongly condemned a report published by Al-Jazeera on October 2 written by some unknown reporter on an 85 paged response submitted by Muhammad Yasin Malik to Delhi High Court in India on NIA’s death penalty petition against him.

The JKLF chief spokesman, Muhammad Rafiq Dar, in a statement in Islamabad termed the report as fake and venomous as it was unusually written by some unnamed reporter with hidden malafide intentions to tarnish the image of Muhammad Yasin Malik.

The spokesman has warned the media platform that JKLF reserves the right of defamation sue if the report is not rectified by Al-Jazeera at earliest. He stated that the 85 paged response of Yasin Malik to NIA’s death penalty petition should serve as an eye opener for all his foes and friends.

He said Yasin Malik ever since his release in May 1994 till his last arrest in February 2019 has been sharing and discussing the background and the reasons of his decision of transition from violent to non-violent mode in conferences, public gatherings, TV talk shows and corner meetings, the spokesman added.

The spokesman said Yasin Malik through this honest and truthful detailed response to NIA’s plea has actually exposed Modi-led government of India’s myth and its nefarious design of portraying him as a dreaded terrorist, the statement read. To understand Yasin Malik, his struggle and the document one needs to have vision and to come out of bias, the spokesman added.

Muhammad Rafiq Dar in his statement further informed that Indian agencies, through their decades-long used mouthpieces, have started a vicious campaign against Yasin Malik. These Indian agency nut bolts, who do not have any standing in Kashmir, through their venomous writings on social media are actually trying to justify their incentives they receive from their new handlers in Kashmir as their offices in Europe have already been shut down by old ones.

Meanwhile, the JKLF chief spokesman, while congratulating the people in AJK on procuring their rights, has expressed his heartfelt sympathies with the families of all those who lost their lives during the movement, including the policemen. Monitoring Desk
