Shutdown in occupied Kashmir against India's ban on Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front
[DAWN] A complete shutdown was observed in India-Indian Kashmiree against the banning of Jammu and Kashmire Liberation Front (JKLF) by the Indian government, the Kashmire Media Service reported on Sunday.

New Delhi had announced a ban on the pro-independence group yesterday, as part of a crackdown on what it calls "separatist organizations".

A statement issued in Delhi said the Indian government had declared JKLF an "unlawful association" as it was trying to curb the activities of "secessionist organizations" posing a threat to the country’s unity and integrity.

The group’s leader, Yasin Malik
...chairman of one of the two factions of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front. JKLF is a Kashmiri nationalist organization founded in Birmingham, UK in 1977. Branches weren't actually established in Kashmir for another ten years. It has the usual demands for separation of J&K from secular India so it can become an independent Islamic rathole. It seems to have no interest in Pak Kashmir breaking away to join it. In 1994 Malik renounced violence after he was released from jail and from that point he and his organization pursued peaceful means to impose their will on the region...

recently in a counteroffensive against dissent following a Feb 14 suicide kaboom that killed over 40 Indian soldiers in the disputed region. Over a thousand people have been arrested since then.

The call for a strike was given by the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik.

All shops and other business establishments were shut in Srinagar and other cities of the valley.

Indian police and paramilitary forces set up checkpoints at several places, while troops were deployed to foil possible protests in downtown Srinagar.

"The order to ban Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
and JKLF is nothing but an act of political vengeance and an oppressive tactic to suppress the just movement of people of Jammu and Kashmire. The Indian government’s decision to ban the organizations peacefully striving for the resolution of Kashmire dispute, will not cow down the people," a statement from the JRL said.

The statement added that the Indian government wants to "push people towards the wall for raising the demand to get their rights but it will not make pro-freedom leadership to crumble".
