Separatist leader and pro-independence, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik today wrote a letter to Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj stating that her emotional speech in the Parliament about Kulbhushan Jadhav바카라s meeting with his family in Pakistan 바카라touched the chords바카라 of his heart.
바카라On 28th December 2017, I was listening to your emotional speech you made in the Indian Parliament wherein you in your own words illustrated the ordeal of Indian prisoner Kulbushan Yadhav바카라s meeting with his family in Pakistan on 25th December. Madam Swaraj, believe me, your words touched the chords of my heart and as a person who has seen the miseries of jail life; I could envisage the tribulation Yadhav바카라s wife and mother had to go through바카라, Malik says in an open letter addressed to the Foreign Minister.
바카라Being an advocate of human dignity, rights of prisoners and ascendancy of kindness over cruelty, I stand for the rights of Kulbushan Yadhav too. No matter who he is and what he has done or what he has been condemned for, he is a prisoner, a captive and every religion, international covenants and human norms endow him and his family certain rights which no one can and should deny바카라, Malik says, calling upon the Pakistani authorities to be more heedful on the rights of prisoners, welfare of their families, their right to mutual meetings and a fair trial.
Pushing the envelope further, Malik says, being a prisoner himself the Foreign Minister바카라s speech, however, scratched his wounds. 바카라It recalled me of my old mother바카라s ordeal, who not once but many a time, in the same manner, after her repeated pleadings to jail authorities, was denied a chance to hug me, her only son, at many Indian jails especially at Tihar.This reminded me of the tears of my sister who could not tolerate to see me from behind a glass wall, talking on an intercom just like Yadhav,바카라 Malik says. 바카라Her plea to touch me was also discarded on the pretext of security reasons바카라, Malik says.
Bringing the issue of Maqbool Butt and the Parliament attack convict, Afzal Guru, Malik says, 바카라it is India that hanged Kashmiri freedom fighter Muhammad Maqbool Butt without allowing him the last meeting with his family members. His younger brother late Ghulam Nabi Butt, who wanted to travel to Delhi to receive his elder brothers corpse, was arrested at Srinagar airport. Maqbool Butt in absence of his family members was buried inside the Tihar jail.바카라
Butt was hanged in Tihar jail on February 11, 1984, after being convicted for his involvement in the killing of a CID inspector.
바카라It is India that, without proving his guilt and just on the pretext to 바카라satisfy the collective conscience of India masses, hanged another Kashmiri youth, Muhammad Afzal Guru in 2013. It is on record that he not only was denied a last chance of meeting his 12-year son, 80-year-old mother and a wailing young wife but even his proper burial was denied by the Indian authorities. The families of these two Kashmiris are still waiting for their mortal remains to be handed over to them. Isn바카라t it a grave Be-Adabi of humanity too?바카라, Malik asks.
Malik says 바카라there are thousands of Kashmiris who have disappeared after being picked up by Indian forces from their residences and their families are yet clueless about their whereabouts. Their wives have been named as 바카라half widows바카라 (a newly introduced terminology) by well reputed international human rights organizations. The continued agony of these families is also worth consideration.바카라
Malik says he agrees with the legitimate questions raised by the foreign minister in her speech about the rights of a prisoner and his family including the right to hug a mother, to touch his wife and to see his children.
바카라But this principle should hold same for every prisoner be he a political prisoner, a freedom fighter, a criminal, or any other lawbreaker. I recently met with the families of some prisoners from Kashmir who are in Tihar jail, held for their political beliefs. During my meeting with their kids and wives, they narrated before me the stories of same malice and humiliations. Daughter of one of these asked me to do something so that she is permitted to touch her father바카라s face바카라, Malik says.
