Srinagar (KNO) : Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) on Monday expressed anguish over the treatment meted out to the party chairperson, Syedah Aasiyeh Andrabi, and her associates inside the Srinagar Central jail. In a statement, a spokesperson of the DeM while rubbishing the charges and calling the allegations levelled against Andrabi Sahiba and others as fictitious and fabricated, said that illegal lodgment of the party leaders exposes the frustration of the puppet government.
“The family members who visited Baaji Sahiba and others said that she was being ill-treated inside the jail.” she said. The spokesperson said that Andrabi Sahiba cannot drink the water available inside the jail as it is harmful to her health. “But, the cruel jail authorities aren’t allowing safe drinking water inside the jail which has led to the worsening of her health,” she added The spokesperson said that the jail authorities also didn’t allow proper bedding for the incarcerated leadership of the DeM.
“And those who were allowed to meet the party chairperson had to go through various difficult procedures. The timing allotted was just 15 minutes and that too through the iron bars and mesh,” she added. “The visitors couldn’t even hear Baaji Sahibs voice and others properly. Photographs were taken and other rigorous formalities had to be done before anyone was allowed to meet them,” she said. She said that the charges levelled against the party chairperson are baseless and fabricated.
“The whole Kashmiri nation is up against the repression. Baaji Sahiba is in jail today, who has asked the people to come on roads?The people are aware that we are under brutal occupation and that is the reason they are out to challenge and throw this illegal occupation out from Jammu and Kashmir,” she added. “These charges that Baaji Sahiba ‘instigates students for stone pelting’ are baseless. It is nothing but frustration of the Indian stooges and their masters in New Delhi,” she added.
