Why Yasin Malik conviction in 2017 terror funding case has frustrated Pak

Published on May 19, 2022 05:06 pm IST

A National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Delhi has convicted Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik a week after he pleaded guilty in a 2017 terror-funding case. A hearing on the sentence is scheduled to take place on 25 May. The maximum punishment he could receive is life imprisonment. Meanwhile, Pakistan summoned India’s Charge d’Affaires to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and handed over a demarche to him conveying Islamabad’s strong condemnation of the framing of “fabricated charges” against Yasin Malik. "Pakistan calls upon the Government of India for acquittal of Malik from all baseless charges and immediate release from prison so that he can be reunited with his family, recuperate his health and return to normal life," Pakistan Foreign Office said in a statement.
