Yasin
Malik must be provided full medical facility, Dr Shabir Choudhry.
‘Yasin
Malik has serious health issues, and his life is in danger. He must be shifted
to hospital where he could be treated for cardiac problems’, said Dr Shabir
Choudhry, Chairman South Asia Watch, London.
Dr Shabir
Choudhry said, well informed sources close to Yasin Malik has informed me that his
heart is not functioning properly, and that he is kept in solitary confinement in
Jammu Jail.
‘Yasin
Malik has abandoned his militant past, and now he is regarded as a politician,
who believes in peaceful struggle’, said Shabir Choudhry. ‘I am heart patient myself,
and I know what he must be going through. Heart patients do not deserve to be
kept in solitary confinement.’
Dr Shabir
Choudhry said, ‘I urge the concerned authorities to immediately shift him to
hospital in name of humanity. If there are any cases against him, or his party
then let the legal course complete its process.’
By
keeping Yasin Malik in jail and by denying him medical help, the authorities
will only enhance his stature; and will tarnish further reputation of the
ruling elite.
Dr Shabir
Choudhry said, ‘Political matters could not be resolved by banning parties and
imprisoning leaders, especially those who have serious health issues. If his
life ends in hospital, then that will make him a hero, and will also intensify
anti India sentiments.’
I request
New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir government to provide Yasin Malik full medical facilities
in name of humanity. END
