Islamabad, July 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):Pakistan has issued a strong demarche to India over the rapidly deteriorating health condition of Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik and has handed-over a letter from his wife addressed to the Indian Prime Minister. The Indian Charge d’Affaires in Islamabad was called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad on Friday and the letter from Mushaal Hussein Mullick, wife of Yasin Malik was handed over to him.
The letter seeks Yasin Malik’s immediate release from prison in view of his precarious health condition that aggravated after his decision to go on a hunger-strike earlier this month. The Indian diplomat was conveyed Pakistan’s deep dismay over the Indian authorities’ latest move of implicating Yasin Malik in two more bogus cases crafted around incidents that happened at least three decades ago. Despite numerous pleas, Yasin Malik, serving life imprisonment in Tihar jail, has been denied his lawful right of personal appearance and cross-examination in the on-going trials.
