ISLAMABAD: Chairperson Peace and Culture Organisation Mushaal Hussein Mullick on Wednesday condemned the shifting of his husband, Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Yasim Malik, from Kot Bhalwal Jail in occupied Jammu to New Delhi’s infamous Tihar Jail, ARY News reported.

Addressing a press conference, Mushaal said such inhuman and brutal tactics could not dampen the courage of the ‘Lion of Kashmir’.

She said the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scared of the recent unprecedented surge of Kashmir movement of right to self-determination; hence he used all inhuman acts to silence the voices.

Wife of the freedom fighter said that Indian had unleashed its state barbarism for over 70 years during which thousands of Kashmiris were martyred and thousands of women were widowed but the intensity of the movement had witnessed a considerable increase with each passing day, which was clear indication that Kashmiris could not be sacred by such tactics.

“Yasin Malik is seriously ill and due to detention his health is deteriorating with each passing day, bu the Indian authorities shidted him to infamous Tihar Jail in New Delhi instead of providing him health facilities,” she deplored.
