Malik condemns arrest of Anantnag girls
Srinagar: A delegation from Anantnag today visited JKLF office at Srinagar and met with the chairman of JKLF Muhammad Yasin Malik.
A JKLF spokesman in a statement said that the delegation informed him about the highhandedness of police in the district that has unleashed a ‘reign of terror against common people’.
Delegation told JKLF chairman that police has started a vicious campaign against girls and ladies wearing veils in the area.
“Police is summoning girls who wear veils to police stations and in case they fail to present themselves, their houses are raided; their fathers are arrested, humiliated, tortured and choicest abuses are showered at them by police,” the spokesman quoted the delegation as saying to Malik.
The delegation informed Malik about the arrest of Tanfiyah Rasool and Sumaira Rasool who happen to be sisters and are lodged at Police station Sadder.
Malik condemned the arrest of two sisters and said that girl students studying a Kashmir University and those who wear veil are being specially targeted by police which shows the anti-Muslim attitude of police.
He said that this highhandedness of police is not acceptable at all and if the rulers did not stop this ugly practice, Kashmiris will have no other option but to launch a full-fledged agitation against it.
