SrinagarInvolving families into political affairs, arresting sons for fathers and fathers in place of sons, has been a long ploy of Indian occupation. Arresting Shahid Yosuf Shah Son of Syed Salah ud Din by NIA and attacks on non-combatant family members of those in freedom struggle are glaring examples of Indian aggression.
This was stated by the chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik in a press release issued today.
Terming the arrest of Syed Salah ud dins Son by NIA in a seven year old case, as clear act of political vendetta, JKLF chairman said that in civilized societys attacks on familys of those who differ with you on political issues or who are resisting oppression and illegal occupation is reckoned criminal but India which claims the honor of being the biggest democracy in the world has been using this oppressive tactics against Kashmiri resistance from a long time.
JKLF chairman said that recently police chief of J&K in a statement said that we all should refrain from attacking families of one another but soon after his lecture, police and forces started a new reign of such ugly attacks which on both sides have become a common practice now.
He said that prior to 1988, same oppressive methodology was used against peaceful youth and their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters were arrested, subjected to humiliation and put in jails. This oppression pushed youth to the wall and in 1990, people of Kashmir rouse in a historic peoples revolution which changed the whole scenario and politics of our region.
JKLF chairman said that from 1990, it has become a common practice to punish families for what their sons and fathers did or are doing. Especially from 2008, this ugly practice of attacking or arresting family members has become a common practice and to suppress peoples voices police and other forces are subjecting families of those in resistance with brutal aggression and oppression.
Citing recent attacks on common people in Tral and other parts of south Kashmir in which even infants were not spared by police, as glaring example of this state sponsored terrorism, JKLF chairman said that arrest of Syed Shahid Yousuf Shah son of Syed Salah ud Din is part of this oppressive tactic of India and it cannot be termed but as clear case of political vendetta.
He said that these oppressive tactics have failed in past and will fail in future too because the voices of people cannot be suppressed by such mean tactics like these.
