While strongly condemning the arrest of Yasin Shaib, JKLF spokesman has said that to halt peaceful protest, Arresting Yasin Shaib and placing other leaders under house arrest has become the loving hobby of police and authorities. He said that imposing restrictions to suppress people’s voices is no democracy but worst kind of dictatorship which Indian rulers are practicing under the grab of so-called biggest democracy. Terming the crackdowns in Shupian ,Pulwama,Kulgam and other parts of Kashmir valley , as worst oppression, JKLF said that beating and torturing common people without the discrimination of age and gender, vandalizing and destroying their properties , arresting young boys and torturing them, humiliating elders and community leaders has become an order of the day which is highly condemnable .
JKLF said that intimidative slogans and statements of Indian rulers and fascist politicians and killings, torture, arrests, vandalizing and other oppressive measures by Indian army, forces and police cannot suppress, finish or even weaken our resolve for freedom. These anti- democratic acts only shame Indian claims of being biggest democracy and can in no case defeat our valor and desire for freedom, added JKLF. Our struggle and peaceful resistance is based on truth and justice and will continue till the derived goal is achieved, added JKLF.
