SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Yasin Malik has said that India was unnerved by unity among pro-freedom leaders and was trying every bit to break this unity.
Addressing at a mosque in Shopian, the JKLF chairman said that unity among pro-freedom leaders had unnerved India, forcing New Delhi to try every bit to break it. “It’s our collective duty to protect it,” he asserted, adding that there has to be one word, one programme and this unity would continue till the ongoing struggle was brought to its logical conclusion.
Malik pointed out that 150 days of shutdown was historic and would be written with golden words in the history of Kashmir.
Earlier, while talking to the parents of 14-year-old Insha Mushtaq at her residence in Shopian, he said that trigger-happy Indian forces were now feeling proud by blinding young girls with pellets in the occupied territory.
Malik said tall claims of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, like ‘Beti Bachao Beti Parhao’, had fallen flat in occupied Kashmir. “The scheme is on display in Kashmir. My heart pains to see Insha wearing dark glasses,” he lamented. “Not you alone, there are many girls, young women, who have been blinded either fully or partially by the pellets during the past five-month uprising, which reflects the frustration on part of the brutal Indian forces.”
He said it was because of the resolve of people of Kashmir and their steadfastness that New Delhi was feeling frustrated. “Its forces are now targeting our girls by firing pellets at their eyes. They have blinded hundreds of our youth and yet continue to shower pellets on our girls and women,” he deplored.
