Srinagar: Chairman JKLF Muhammad Yasin Malik was arrested by police today and has been detained at police station Kothibagh, a JKLF spokesman said in a statement issued here.
The spokesman said that police in large numbers cordoned the residence of Malik, arrested him and shifted him to police station Kothibagh.
JKLF zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal, who is in jail from last one month, has been re-arrested by police after he was bailed out from Srinagar central jail. After re-arrest he too has been shifted to police station kothibagh, said the spokesman.
Meanwhile, the spokesman condemned the arrest of JKLF chairman, re-arresting JKLF zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal, ban on a press conference by JRL, and oppression unleashed by forces and police today in Srinagar in which many young boys were killing including one innocent Adil Ahmad who was mercilessly crushed under a police vehicle.
“Trigger happy forces have unleashed a reign of terror against Kashmiris which is crossing every limit now. By crushing a young man to death, forces and police have actually re-written the protocol of oppression and this can only be termed as worst terrorism by men in uniform,” the spokesman said.
