My speech was distorted: Yasin Malik
Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Yasin Malik on Thursday said that a Pakistani English newspaper published concocted and unfounded contents while reporting his June 13 speech. "My speech never carried contents like training camps or guns, but the newspaper showing professional dishonesty included these unfounded and baseless sentences as part of my speech," he told reporters before leaving for Muzaffarabad.The newspaper had reported Yasin Malik as saying that Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed had patronised a training camp for Kashmiri militants. He lamented the Indian External Affairs Ministry for reacting on the alleged disclosure without confirming the veracity of the report. "The External Affairs Ministry should have seen the video tape of my speech prior to issuing their reaction on the subject," he said. "I did not make the speech in front of a camera. Around 100 reporters were present there. It is a simple case of journalistic dishonesty," he said. Posted by: Fred 2005-06-17 |
