Yasin to Farooq: Be serious

KT NEWS SERVICE. Dated: 11/12/2017 1:55:23 PM

SRINAGAR, Nov 11: JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik today asked National Conference (NC) president Dr Farooq Abdullah to shun acting like a “ political joker” and assume some seriousness.”
In a statement, Malik said that Dr Abdullah has always played non-serious and selfish politics. “Kashmiris never take his words and personality seriously.”
The JKLF chairman ridiculed the statement of Dr Abdullah against freedom of Jammu Kashmir. Terming the statement of Farooq Abdullah as absurd and non-serious, Malik said that to remain in news, NC president always issues controversial statements like these. “But people of Jammu Kashmir are fully aware of his irresponsible character, his non-seriousness and the level to which he can stoop down for his selfish gains. Because of these facts no one takes his statements seriously,” Malik said.
He added that in fact Dr Abdullah and his late father have been doing politics in the name of freedom of Kashmir for a long time and it was he who in 1974 from Lal Chowk Srinagar floated the slogan of “Choen Daish Mouen Daish Kashur Daish Kashur Daish” (Your nation my nation is Kashmiri nation Kashmiri nation) and even participated in pro-freedom rallies in Mirpur in Pakistan Administered Kashmir.
“But afterwards these very people for their lust of power and for serving their own selfish benefits shunned the path of freedom, sacrificed the interests of Kashmiris and till date are with their enjoying the fruits of petty power and authority,” he said.
Rejecting the idea of autonomy for Jammu Kashmir, JKLF chairman said Kashmiris have not sacrificed thousands of lives for a “so-called fragile, absurd and ridiculous autonomy under which a prime minster at one time (who luckily was Farooq Abdullah sahib’s own father) was handcuffed by an ordinary police man and thrown into jail for 11 long years.”
