Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik was today arrested from his residence here, after three militants were killed in a encounter by the security forces in Anantnag district.
Early this morning, police cordoned off Malik’s residence and arrested him, a JKLF spokesperson said.
The JKLF chairman was taken to Kothi Bagh police station. When JKLF zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal went to see him at the police station, Kalwal was also arrested and lodged along with Malik, the spokesperson added.
Prior to his arrest Malik while speaking to media said that India considers Jammu Kashmir as its colony and this is why it hands over the corpses of our loved one on daily basis.
He said that even today three of our loved ones have fallen to the bullets of Indians. While paying rich tributes to killed militants, JKLF chairman said that Indian rulers and their stooges first choked every space for peaceful activities and hence pushed these budding flowers to the wall and now has engaged its thousands of forces to kill these young them.
