According to Pakistan Observer, President Dr. Arif Alvi has strongly condemned the conviction and life imprisonment of Hurriyat Leader, Yasin Malik, by the Special Court of the National Investigation Agency in Delhi based on false and politically motivated charges.
Terming the sentence as unfair and against the fundamental principles of justice, the President regretted that the Indian judiciary had always played second fiddle to the Indian political leadership by safeguarding the interests of extremist Hindutva ideology and denying justice to the Muslims.
