In a huge revelation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) informed the Delhi High Court that
Yasin Malik, Kashmiri separatist and a known militant during 1990s, was in touch with the top
leadership of Pakistan, including the Prime Minister, the President, senators of the Pakistani
Senate, and the Chief Ministers of all provinces, as well as linked with various terrorist outfits
across the border, including the supporters of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
He used these contacts to fuel and propagate the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from Bharat.
Moreover, the NIA held that Malik’s “working relationship” with several previous governments has
no bearing on the case, as the NIA informed: “Rest of the matters related to taking names of
Senior Politicians, Media personnel, foreign delegates and Bureaucrats is only for the sake of
gaining popularity and to draw sympathy of the public and has no bearing with the merit of the
instant case.”
The next hearing will commence from July 21.
