Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 7: For politics you may even please the kidnappers of your family member. This is what Peoples Democratic Party Mehbooba Mufti has been doing all these years when she was heading the government in Jammu and Kashmir.
She remained silent over the kidnappers of her sister.
Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik has been booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA) and would be shifted to Kot Balwal Jail in Jammu district.
Malik is the same person who was involved in the kidnapping of Rubiya Saeed, sister of Mehbooba Mufti. But all these years, she was soft towards separatists to please them in Kashmir.
"Anything is possible in politics. You have an example of Mehbooba Mufti who over these years never took any action against Malik. Even she has been soft towards separatists," a police official said.
On December 8, 1989, Rubiya was kidnapped at gunpoint from a mini-bus while she was on her way home from Lala Ded Hospital in Srinagar where she worked as a doctor. The militants involved in kidnapping had demanded the release of five of their accomplices who were in prison.
After 15 days of hectic negotiations, five militants were released by the then Indian government in exchange for Rubaiya's freedom.
Malik was also involved into the killing of Indian Air Force personnel.
On the morning of January 25th, 1990, at around 7:30 AM, motorcycle- borne militants fired at a group of 40 unarmed Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel who were waiting at the Sant Nagar crossing, Srinagar to board vehicles to go to their respective offices. In the attack, four personnel- Squadron leader Ravi Khanna, Corporal DB Singh, Corporal Uday Shankar and Airman Ajad Ahmad-were martyred.
Years later, in an interview with international news channel, Malik had confessed to having committed the murders of the IAF personnel.
Malik had also confessed of kidnapping doctor-intern Rubiya Sayeed, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohd Sayeed and sister of former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti.
Malik can be kept in detention for up to two years under the PSA without any judicial intervention.
Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a plea in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court seeking transfer of cases against Yasin Malik from Srinagar to Jammu.
The chief justice of J&K High Court, Gita Mittal, has sought a response from Yasin Malik on the plea.
Next date of hearing is March 11. |
