2003 JKLF Signature Campaign
ANANTNAG: Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Muhammad Yasin Malik Was Saturday acquitted by Court along with his two associates in a 13 years old case.
Police had booked Yasin Malik, Javid Ahmed Mir and Noor Muhammad Kalwal in 2003 when they had launched a Signature Campaign in Kokarnag area of South Kashmirs Anantnag district. Kokarnag police had registered a formal FIR vide number 152/2003 against the trio when they were in the area with regard to their signature campaign.
That Signature Campaign was aimed at persuading International Community, especially India and Pakistan to include Kashmiris as third party in the dialogue process. It was a peaceful campaign and yet we were booked by the police, senior separatist leader Javid Ahmed Mir said.
Describing the charges against Malik, Mir, and Kalwal as frivolous and meaningless, Principal and District Sessions Judge Anantnag, Choudhri Muhammad Akram acquitted them all with dignity.
Earlier, Muhammad Yasin Malik prayed before the Court that even the then Chief Minister Mufi Muhammad Sayeed and later Omar Abdullah had approved JKLFs Signature campaign.
JKLF leaders were represented by their counsels Advocate Fayaz Ahmed Sodagar and Advocate Mujeeb-ur-Rehman.
