The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday said that Pakistan’s decision to appoint Mushaal Hussein Mullick as a Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on human rights. was “an indication of a sabotage plan in Kashmir”. Ms. Mullick is the wife of jailed Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leader Yasin Malik.
“Pakistan’s latest move to appoint Ms. Mullick as the Human Rights Minister, hailed by certain Kashmiri leaders, is an indication to slate the Kashmir sabotage plan. But they forget that New Delhi is a New Delhi of New India, which will not only fail all their attempts but teach them a lesson on their soil if need arises,” senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana said in Jammu.
Ms. Mullick, who was appointed to Pakistan’s interim cabinet, is a graduate of the London School of Economics. She married Mr. Malik in 2009. The JKLF leader was sentenced to life imprisonment by a National Investigation Agency court in 2022, and is facing trial in multiple other cases.
