ISLAMABAD – Adviser to the Prime Minister on Kashmir affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira has strongly condemned the unfortunate verdict issued by an Indian court against Yasin Malik and termed it as totally outrageous and unjustified. According to a media release issued on Wednesday, Kaira said the conviction of Yasin Malik based on flimsy and fabricated grounds was a blatant violation of basic human rights. The Adviser said when Indian authorities failed in subduing the firm resolve of Yasin Malik for right to self-determination, they framed baseless charges in vengeance against him in order to muffle his voice and to overthrow the real leadership of Kashmiri people. He said Yasin Malik never had the right to a fair trial and hearing as all state organs and agencies of Modi-led Indian government were busy in anchoring the Hindu extremist ideology of Hindutva. The Adviser also called on all international human rights organizations including Amnesty International, United Nations Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Human Rights Watch to condemn and expose this cruel act and murder of justice by Indian government at all international forums.
