Razia Sultana, daughter of jailed Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik, has said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be responsible if anything happens to her father.

“Today, let my voice carry for prime minister Modi that if my father is harmed in any way, I will blame you,” she said while addressing a special session of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly on Thursday. “How can such measure be considered democratic giving death sentence to Yasin Malik is a stigma on the face of India.”

Sultana added that she met her father at the age of two, adding that Malik dedicated his whole life to Kashmiris. Malik’s daughter said that she remembers her father all the time.

She requested the UN and all human rights organizations to make it possible for her to meet her father and end the death sentence.

In May, an Indian court issued a notice to jailed Kashmiri independence figure Yasin Malik on the country’s top anti-terrorism investigation agency plea seeking the death penalty for him in a terror funding case.

A bench of the Delhi High Court comprising Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Talwant Singh also issued warrants for the production of Malik before it on August 9.

Muhammad Yasin Malik, 57, chief of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), pleaded guilty last year to funding terrorism after refusing to accept a government-appointed lawyer or to defend himself against the charges.
