SRINAGAR, Sep 28: Chairman Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik along with dozens of his party leaders was today arrested while on way to Shopian.
According to a statement issued by JKLF, a delegation of party led by Malik left for Shopian early morning but as they reached near Newa in Pulwama, police arrested them.
The arrested leaders included Bashir Ahmad Butt, Noor Mohammad Kalwal, Shaukat Ahmad Bakhshi, Mohammad Yasin Bhat, Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, Mohammad Sideeq Shah, Bashir Ahmad Kashmiri, Prof Javaid, Ghulam Rasool Hazari, and Maqbool Taplu.
Before his arrest, Malik while talking to the members of the delegation said they wanted to share the grief of people of Shopian, who have suffered a lot, particularly after Gagren killings. Malik alleged that the mainstream politician enjoy every facility while separatist are being stopped, arrested, tortured and confined to their homes which clearly shows that Kashmir is run by police and other forces and it has become a police state.
JKLF spokesman while condemning this arrested said that these barricades and arrested show the level of frustration the rulers are suffering from.
