Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairperson Muhammad Yasin Malik was on Friday released from central jail Srinagar.
Malik was arrested on January 2o ahead of Gawkadal massacre anniversary.
After his release from the jail, Malik lashed out at the PDP-BJP government. While reacting to the resolution adopted by the Legislative Council to celebrate the birth anniversary of autocrat Maharaja Hari Singh as a Holiday, he said, it is the height of hypocrisy to declare dictator Hari Singhs birthday as a holiday and simultaneously observe July 13 as a martyrs day.
Hypocrites are asking us to honour killers as well as their victims simultaneously. How can these people observe July 13 as a martyrs day and at the same time observe dictator Hari Singhs birthday as a holiday, Malik asked?
He said that pro-India parties and politicians have actually made a mockery of the sacrifices and struggle of Kashmiris who fought for years to get rid-off autocratic rule from Jammu Kashmir.
The philosophy behind these kinds of orders and legislations is that pro-India rulers and politicians have also become mini-Maharajas as their parties and politics is also promoting family politics in Jammu Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Malik said that Pandits are a part and parcel of our society but rehabilitating them in separate Israeli type settlements is not acceptable.
He said Pandits are part and parcel of Kashmiri society and that no one in Kashmir can oppose their return as they belong to this land but simultaneously no one in Kashmir wants to see them living in Israeli type settlements (separate colonies) and spend their lives as aliens. JKLF chief said that Kashmiri Pandits have equal rights as Kashmiri Muslims and we all welcome them back whole heartedly.
They should return, live at the places of their choice and gel with the rest of society in their own land as they have been living in the past.
