Kashmiris won’t barter their rights: Mushaal

Mushaal Mullick, wife of jailed Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik, on Friday said that Kashmiris would not barter away on their rights and would never accept occupation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

“The people of IIOJK are being subjected to collective punishment by Indian occupation forces who have converted the territory into the largest militarised zone in the world,” she said while talking to a private news channel.

She said unity and sacrifices of Kashmiris would undoubtedly lead their freedom struggle to its logical conclusion. Mushaal said Kashmiri martyrs, including Burhan Wani, were symbol of resistance in IIOJK.

“Burhan Wani’s role will be written in golden letters in the history of Kashmir. Burhan Wani is a hero of millions of Kashmiris and an icon of resistance movement.”

She added: “The current situation in IIOJK is the worst in recent history where people have been deprived of their fundamental rights, including rights to life, food, health and freedom of expression.”
