New Delhi:
Yasin Malik, convicted terrorist and leader of the banned group Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), has made a series of claims in a detailed affidavit filed before the Delhi High Court, which include past engagements with big political figures and religious leaders.
The document, accessed by NDTV, which reads like a chronicle of Malik’s interactions over two decades, recounts high-level dialogues involving two Shankaracharyas, extensive contact with leaders of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), meetings with Indian intelligence officials, and his alleged role in supporting former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s 2000-01 Ramzan ceasefire.
These are Malik’s assertions in court. None of the leaders or the organisations that he has mentioned have acknowledged or issued any responses.One of Malik’s central claims is that at least two Shankaracharyas from different maths visited his residence in Srinagar “umpteen numbers of times” and even held a press conference alongside him.
