ISLAMABAD – Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF),Muhammad Yasin Malik has said that India faced ultimate defeat after peopleof Kashmir boycotted en masse the recently-concluded urban local bodyelections in Indian occupied Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Muhammad Yasin Malik addressing aSeerat Conference at Hyderpora in Srinagar said New Delhi also got exposedat the international level where it would sell people’s participation inpolls as referendum in its favour.
He said people in cantonment areas people can’t even breath or drink waterwithout army’s permission. He said, “In these areas, people’s every affairis managed by the army”. “But we must note that people in Ganderbal andKhonmoh areas stayed away on November 17,” he added.
Lashing out at pro-India political parties for hiring educated turncoats torun a sustained campaign against the Kashmir struggle on social media,Yasin Malik said: “Now an impression is being created that NationalConference is better than PDP and BJP is the alternative to PDP. There isan all-out campaign on the social media by people hired by these partieswho, in a bid to damage the Kashmir struggle, try to create an atmospherefor next assembly elections,” Malik said.
He said same was done in 2014 assembly polls when then PDP leaders toldpeople in rallies that they should vote against RSS and BJP. “This party orthat party, it hardly matters for us. Aren’t all these parties responsiblefor the oppression being unleashed by forces across Kashmir?” he asked.
He said Kashmiri people have understood the “sole motive of all pro-Indiaparties” and “will no more come under their deception and fraud.” “Peopleof Kashmir are well aware of how the previous elections in Kashmir weresold before the international community. People clearly remember how aformer Prime Minister of India (late AtalBihari Vajpayee) claimed that byholding successful elections in Kashmir in 2002, he had won a democraticwar,” Malik said.
