Srinagar: Stating that boycotting the polls is
legitimate under the purview of legal and democratic set-up, Chairman Jammu and
Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik Thursday said
that the crackdown upon Kashmir’s pro-freedom leadership in actual vindicates
that the puppets have accepted the defeat ahead of the fight.
In a statement issued to press, Malik stated that
democracy is termed as the battle of ideas and ideologies .Also freedom of
expression is the basic right of every individual of the modern world and that
the same is also among the very foundations of every democratic country. “To
vote or to boycott is the basic right of every person but to inflict torture of
worst nature upon the ones who boycott the election fray and to restrict their
movements is in itself the negation of the democratic norms that cannot be but
termed as undemocratic and uncivilized.”
Malik stated further that throughout the world, the
people are being given the chance to express their ideas and opinions before
the masses in a free way but in Jammu Kashmir, India, which claims to be the
biggest democracy of the world and also terms election held time to time in
Jammu Kashmir as fair, free and full of participation, is actually acting in
Hitler’s style, negating the people of Jammu Kashmir every basic right to
choose what they want. This has exposed the hollowness of India’s democratic
claims .He said that India that thoroughly claims to uphold the values of
fair-play and democracy, in actual undermines the aspiration of the people and
inflicts torture upon them. “As the elections were announced here, the
crackdown upon the pro-freedom camp has unmasked its hollow claims and the
puppet regime.
Yasin said The puppet regimes here claim that the
election are conducted in a transparent way here but irony is that the Army and
forces , election commission and even the candidates contesting the
elections are their own. Therefore to expect fair-play and so called
transparency via these elections is a mere mirage.
Malik stated that the pro-India parties here including
NC, Congress, PDP, BJP, and CPI and other parties and independents engaged in
these elections are being funded by India’s home ministry. Indian forces and
institutions facilitate their campaign and even people’s participation in their
public rallies is ensured by these. But on the other hand freedom camp is
denied all its rights, they are being harassed, arrested, jailed, tortured and
subjected to every kind of oppression by Indian state. The irony is that after
caging down the whole freedom camp, Indian prime minister from Lal Qilla and
other leaders and officers claim victory and propagate elections as people’s
verdict. Yasin Malik said that this is no victory but a clear defeat of India
and its puppets in Jammu Kashmir. If India and its Kashmiri stooges believe in
real democracy they should instead of arresting and harassing freedom camp
provide them a even playing field and let the people of Jammu Kashmir decide
what they want.
Yasin Malik said that ex-Indian election commissioner Mr.
Lingdo once said that election boycott is peoples right .Even the new Indian
law NOTA, the verdict of Indian supreme court on this and its various
Interpretations clearly provide people an option to vote or boycott elections,
but India trampling its own laws and norms has and is negating the people of
Kashmir this right.
Yasin Malik said that jail is second home for freedom
camp and people in this camp have spent years in jails. Therefore intimidating
them by the threats of jails and arrests cannot deter them from perusing the
path of freedom and truth. He said that anybody who is dreaming to frighten the
freedom lovers is living in a fool’s paradise as this only show and indicates
that Indian state and its puppets have conceded defeat even before the match.
Meanwhile on the directions of Chairman Mohammad Yasin
Malik a delegation comprising of Mir Siraj Ud Din, Prof Javed, Nisar
Jeelani,Mushtaq Ahmad Wani and Zahoor Ahmad today visited Shahgund Bandipora
and met with the bereaved family of martyr Farhat Ahmad Dar. The delegation met
with the family and expressed solidarity with them. The delegation also visited
Hajin and expressed solidarity with the people of the area who are being
constantly tortured and harassed by the forces. JKLF has also expressed its
heartfelt condolences on the sad demise of its well-wisher Gulshan Akhtar w/o
Mohammad Ashraf khan of Gulshan Nagar Nogam. JKLF leaders advocate Bashir Ahmad
Bhat, Mohammad Sideeq Shah participated in her funeral and expressed
condolences to her family including JKLF leader Mushtaq Ajmal for whom she was
