Statement of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Leader Regarding His Case
The Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Muhammad Yasin Malik, has decided to represent himself in his upcoming hearing on August 8th at the request of the National Investigation Agency. This decision comes amidst allegations of human rights abuses by the Indian army in occupied Kashmir.
Malik argues that his case cannot be fair if he hires a lawyer, expressing distrust in the Indian legal system. He believes this act of self-representation is a symbolic resistance against the Indian government’s policies.
Malik maintains his innocence and aims to expose the political nature of the case and the Indian government’s attempts to silence him. He hopes to use this opportunity to highlight the plight of the Kashmiri people and call for international intervention.
The Hurriyat leader believes that lasting peace in the region can only be achieved by addressing the underlying issues in occupied Kashmir. He urges the United Nations and other international organizations to pressure India to improve the situation in the region.
