Using police task force (SOG) against peaceful political leaders and resisting youth has exposed the hollowness of slogans like battle of ideas. Those who with pride claim to have disbanded SOG are now using this infamous force to suppress their political opponents. In a statement issued to KNS said that they strongly condemn the arrest of the arrest of JKLF vice chairman advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt, JKLF senior vice president (zonal) Muhammad Yasin Butt and senior resistance member Muhammad Amin Magloo who have been arrested by SOG (police task force) and are languishing in task force custody at Air Cargo camp. This was stated by the chairman JKLF Muhammad Yasin Malik who himself is incarcerated at Humahma JIC in his message sent out from incarceration today.JKLF chairman while strongly condemning the use of police task force against peaceful political activists and leaders said that SOG arrested senior JKLF leader and zonal vice president Muhammad Yasin Butt along with senior resistance member Muhammad Amin Magloo while as Police and SOG today morning cordoned the masjid at Methan Chanpora and arrested JKLF vice chairman advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt who was offering morning prayers inside the masjid. Both advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt and Muhammad Yasin Butt have been jailed at SOG camp air cargo while as Muhammad Amin Magloo is languishing at police station sadder.Incarcerated JKLF chairman said that it is highly ironical that same people who are day in and day out propagating with pride that they disbanded police task force (SOG) and saved people of Jammu Kashmir from their tyranny and oppression are now using the same infamous force against known political leaders, activists, youth and students and suppressing the democratic voices of the people. He said that advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt, Muhammad Yasin Butt and Muhammad Amin Magloo etc. are all known peaceful political figures and jail, incarcerations, and tortures are not new to them but the irony is that SOG like force is being employed to arrest them and its notorious camps are being used to cage them down and this is done by the same rulers who talk about dignity, peace, Goli Nahin Boli, battle of ideas, disbanding SOG and so on.
JKLF chairman said that 80 days of curfew and lock down, around 100 innocent killings, more than 15000 injured person, more than 600 blinded men ,women and children , around 6000 arrests among whom more than 500 have been booked under black law PSA are enough evidence of Indian oppression in Jammu Kashmir but what is more gruesome is that the sadist mindset of pro-India rulers of Jammu Kashmir is not yet satisfied and they want more repression, more blood, more people to be jailed, more and more use of black laws to cage down its political opponents and so on. He said that suppressing people’s voices with police and military might, intimidations, nocturnal raids, arrests, slapping PSA’s, vandalizing private properties, putting a ban on mobile phone and internet may establish peace of graveyard in Kashmir but it can never eradicate the love, passion and desire for freedom from the hearts and minds of Kashmiris who want freedom from illegal occupation and are ready to sacrifice everything to attain this goal. While condemning the ongoing oppression in Jammu Kashmir JKLF chairman said that the reign of oppression has now reached to Chinab and Pirpanjal regions where so –called rulers and their authorities at the behest of RSS and Other chauvinist forces have started terrorizing Muslims and those others who raised their voices against killings in Kashmir. While condemning the recent arrests in Kishtwar and other areas and imposition of curfew there, JKLF chairman said that PDP led coalition has surpassed every tyrant and oppressive regime in Jammu Kashmir. Yasin Malik said that Indian rulers and their Kashmiri stooges should read history carefully and understands that military might, oppression and suppression have and can never defeat people’s resolve and history bears a witness to the fact that no nation desiring and striving for its freedom has been ever defeated by occupants or tyrants. He said that according to the law of retribution every tyrant and oppressor has to answer for its crimes against humanity and time is not far when the reign of terror unleashed by India and its stooges against Kashmiris will also end.
