SRINAGAR: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has expressed deep concern over reports of separatist leader Mohammad Yasin Malik’s hunger strike in Tihar Jail, urging authorities to provide him with the necessary medical treatment in accordance with the jail manual.
“November 6, 1947, another tragic day in shaping the history of J&K, a disturbing reminder of human violence driven by hate. The question is do we continue to operate in its legacy or do we move beyond it for the sake of our collective good as humankind and for our future generations to live in peace,” Mirwaiz said in a post on ‘x’, adding “It’s a decision that the powerful leadership can make. Also concerned about reports of Mohammad Yasin Malik’s hunger strike in Tihar jail for seeking medical treatment. Urge the authorities to ensure necessary medical assistance to him in accordance with jail manual and the rights of prisoners.” (KDC)
