Yasin Malik terms Indian army chief’s remarks fascism

Monitoring Desk

ISLAMABAD: Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik has termed the statement of the Indian Army Chief as naked fascism.

The Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat had said that schools in the occupied territory were teaching two maps — India’s and Jammu and Kashmir’s — to the students, which he said was radicalising youth, the KMS reported. He said the real control of India which claims to be the biggest democracy, lies in the hands of armed forces.

He said, “Indian army chief is on daily basis issuing threats to Kashmiris. Sometimes, he comes out with a plan of killing more and more Kashmiris in the name of operation and at times he divulges plans to control masjads and schools to defeat Kashmiris.”

Yasin Malik said army, forces, police and other agencies had tried all oppressive tactics including brutal killings, disappearances, arrests and torture but failed to suppress Kashmiris’ sentiments.

He said the illogical statements of Indian army chief and other Indian dignitaries on Kashmir actually showed their lack of knowledge about Kashmir.
