It will trigger new era of violence: Malik
Srinagar, Nov 22: JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik
Thursday warned of disastrous consequences and a new era of violence in Kashmir
if New Delhi decides to execute the Parliament attack convict Muhammad Afzal
Guru. “After hanging Ajmal Kasab, BJP has intensified pressure demanding
hanging of Afzal Guru. Even some Congress leaders have joined the bandwagon
sparking serious concern among Kashmiris,” said Malik in a statement,
adding that “history is witness to the fact that
Kashmiris were never in favour of any kind of violence but when Government of
India hanged Muhammad Maqbool Bhat in 1984, it changed their (Kashmiris’)
mindset. It is now history that how Kashmiris followed their martyred leader
and sacrificed tens of thousands of their people in the way of freedom.”
“Kashmiris in 2008 transformed themselves from violence to non-violence
and if decision to hang Afzal Guru is taken, it will cast a serious dent in
this process of positive transformation and a new era of violence may start in
Kashmir,” Malik said, adding that to score political points in
coming elections political leadership in New Delhi are mounting pressure for
hanging Guru. Malik hoped that wisdom should prevail and no such decision
should be taken that might put the peace, stability, prosperity and welfare of
the people in danger. Meanwhile, Malik, according to a Front spokesman,
telephoned several Indian civil society leaders regarding the matter and
informed them about the concerns of the people of Kashmir in this regard.
