Yasin Malik criticises Advani over 'Kashmir campaign'

SRINAGAR: JKLF Chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik today criticised senior BJP leader L K Advani for seeking complete integration of the state with the Union of India.

In a statement, Malik termied BJP's campaign over Kashmir as "highly provocative".

Malik said "unfortunately" for the last two months the " Saffron brigade led by Advani" has launched "a sustained campaign against the resolution of Kashmir issue".

"Advani and other top leaders of BJP have now reached Jammu where they have launched campaign against Kashmiris. They had hoped that your party would push the present government for resolution of Kashmir issue. We had hopes that you would show statesmanship and push the present government to carry forward the process you had started," he said in the statement.
