JRL call strike on Sunday against ban on JKLF

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 23 Mar 2019, 12:49 pm

Srinagar, Mar 23 (UNI) The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) on Saturday called for a general strike on Sunday in protest against ban on Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).

A spokesman of the JRL in a statement here this afternoon called for a strike on Sunday against the ban claiming the JKLF was involved in a peaceful struggle to resolve the Kashmir dispute.


He alleged that the sole motive of banning JKLF like Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) is to crush the Kashmiris through use of force.


The government of India Friday declared JKLF, led by Muhammad Yasin Malik, an “unlawful association” under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. Malik was arrested and booked under Public Safety Act (PSA) immediately after fidayeen attack on CRPF convoy at Awantipora in which 44 personnel were martyred and several others injured. Malik is lodged in a Jammu jail.


About 300 JeI leaders and activists besides both the factions of Hurriyat Conference (HC) were arrested since the Pulwama attack.
