JKDFP condemns Shabir Shah’s continuous detention
‘Agencies have miserably failed to establish anything adverse against Shah’
Srinagar: Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has condemned the sending of its incarcerated chief Shabir Shah for judicial custody “after ten days of interrogation”.
The party said in a statement on Saturday that Shah was being asked “the same questions again and again ever since he was arrested in July 2017”.
A JKDFP Spokesperson said that investigating agencies had “miserably failed to establish anything adverse against Shabir Shah who believes in politics only”.
He said it was now the duty of the Judiciary to uphold the values of justice by releasing Shabir Shah.
“But unfortunately, the Indian judiciary is working under political influence hence damaging the institution of justice and impartiality,” he alleged.
The spokesperson said that Shah was being made a “victim of political vendetta only for advocating the resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
He said that Kashmir issue was the cause of the ongoing bloodshed in the disputed region and the skirmishes between New Delhi and Islamabad which has “endangered the stability and peace of the whole South Asian region.”
While Shah has been working for a “resolution so that the neighboring countries could live in harmony”, the JKDFP said that New Delhi was “hell bent to crush his political voice”.
“Such kind of attitude is a clear message from New Delhi that it does not give any heed to politics leaving the space for violence and bloodshed”.
“It is very unfortunate that Shabir Shah is undergoing imprisonment for his political beliefs and the world is watching silently. Still, the international community claims that it is monitoring the Kashmir situation closely.” The spokesperson added.
