Srinagar: Starting Friday, May 29, separatist leader and chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Yasin Malik on Wednesday announced a 10 day long ‘Jail Bharo’ movement.
Demanding political space for separatist leaders, Malik asked the government to allow them to conduct peaceful public meetings across the Kashmir.
“Such a programme is aimed to give befitting reply to the ‘puppet’ government here which has choked the political space of the resistance movement in Kashmir,” Malik told a news conference and added, “If our demand of political space isn’t met in stipulated time, then we will come up with a new programme.”
He maintained that the era of 1988 has returned to Kashmir during which “peaceful protestors and demonstrators used to be bundled in Red 16 and father used be detained as a trap to arrest the son and brother against brother by the police in valley.”
