Srinagar: Shifting Kashmiri inmates to jails outside the State is most cruel act of “so-called” rulers, said the chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik on Wednesday while condemning the shifting of dozens of Kashmiri detainees to Haryana jail.
In a statement issued to GNS, Malik said “replicating oppression of 1990s will yield Indian occupation nothing but failure”.
“Recently about 40 Kashmiri inmates who are detained under black law Public Safety Act (PSA) have been shifted to Haryana Jail from Kot Bhalwal and Kathua jails,” Malik said and termed the shifting as “most cruel, illegal and vengeful act of Indian rulers and their Kashmiri abettors”.
JKLF chairman said that all international laws and even orders of the Supreme Court of India prevent authorities from shifting inmates to jails that are far off from their residences and families.
“But Jammu Kashmir, as everyone knows, is a police state run on police whims and commands and what is more ironical is that all this is being done in the name of democracy and peace,” he said.
He said after the imposition of Governor’s rule in Jammu Kashmir, a “dictatorial” ordinance was issued authorizing establishment to shift Kashmiri inmates to Indian jails and now this ordinance has been put into practice by governor’s regime. (GNS)
