Srinagar: On the directions of Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman Syed Ali Geelani, a delegation of the amalgam on Tuesday visited the residence of incarcerated Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik. The delegation shared their concern about the ailing leader’s health with his family.

Hailing the commitment and determination of Malik, the delegation said that “frustrated with the uncompromising resolve of leadership and masses vis-a-vis freedom struggle, Govt of India is resorting to old colonial tricks to intimidate and coerce leadership to submission under its might so they can give up to represent the true aspirations of people of Jammu Kashmir”.

“Time and again New Delhi has failed in its designs and history bears testimony to this fact that such oppressive majors have never proved deterrent to the will of people or leadership.

“These methods are once again doomed to fail as Kashmir issue is and will remain a festering wound till it is not resolved according to the wishes and aspirations of people of Jammu Kashmir,” the delegation said.

The delegation included Bilal Ahmed Siddiqui, Muhammad Saleem, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, Bashir Ahmed Irfani, and Syed Muhammad Shafi.
