Kashmir’s separatist leader Yasin Malik has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the NIA court in the terror funding case. Now the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (OIC-IPHRC) of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has commented condemning this decision, which India has called unacceptable.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said that the world will not tolerate terrorism at all. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) does not justify it (terror) under any circumstances.
India calls OIC statement backed by terror
Bagchi said- India will not accept the comments of OIC-IPHRC condemning India for the verdict in Yasin Malik’s case. Through these comments, the OIC-IPHRC has supported Malik’s terrorist activities by making such a statement. The charges against Malik have been proved in the court and only after that he was sentenced. He said- the world wants zero tolerance against terrorism.
Arindam Bagchi said that through these comments OIC-IPHRC has extended its support to the terrorist activities of Yasin Malik, in respect of which evidence was given in the court.
What did the OIC say?
OIC criticized Malik’s sentence, saying – Malik has been imprisoned in inhuman conditions, which shows the persecution of Muslims living in Kashmir. The OIC described Malik’s sentence as a mockery of the Indian judicial system. Punishment of Yasin Malik is wrong.
Yasin was sentenced to life imprisonment on May 25
Yasin was facing several cases related to funding terrorist attacks in Kashmir with the support of Pakistan and providing arms to terrorists. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on May 25. NIA lawyer Umesh Sharma had told- Yasin has been sentenced to life imprisonment in two cases and 10 years in 10 cases. All the sentences will run concurrently. Apart from this, this separatist leader will have to pay a fine of Rs 10 lakh.
Big allegations against Yasin
During the hearing on May 19, Yasin has confessed to his crime. Malik is accused of attacking Air Force personnel in Srinagar on January 25, 1990. 40 people were injured in this incident, while four soldiers were martyred. Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna was one of them. All of them were waiting for the car to go to the airport, when the terrorists attacked them. Malik had also mentioned this in the interview given to the media.
Along with this there are also allegations of having links with Pakistani terrorists. There have also been allegations of kidnapping of Rubia Sayeed, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. Yasin was also instrumental in killing Kashmiri Pandits in 1990 and forcing them to leave the Valley.
