Yasin Malik, jailed Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief, on Friday (April 4) said in the Supreme Court of India that he was a 'political leader' and not a 'terrorist' and claimed that seven Prime Ministers had engaged in a dialogue with him in the past. Appearing via video-conferencing before a bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan, Yasin Malik referred to the submission of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), that there were photos of him alongside terrorist Hafiz Saeed and it was covered by all national and regional dailies and television channels. "This statement has created a public narrative against me. The union government has not listed my organisation as a terrorist organisation under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). It is pertinent to note that post a unilateral ceasefire in 1994, I was not only provided bail in 32 cases but none of the cases were pursued," Malik said.from IndiaTV India: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/42rZIpP
