Srinagar, August 09 (KMS): In Srinagar, doctors have termed the condition of the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Muhammad Yasin Malik as life threatening, while he continued his fast-unto-death for the fifth consecutive day, today.

The JKLF Chairman went on the hunger strike on Tuesday to protest against the continued assaults on the Muslims and their properties by the Hindu fanatics in Jammu. He was hospitalised on Thursday in an unconscious condition. Muhammad Yasin Malik suffers from the renal disfunction and heart problems. Doctors told the mediamen today that there were high chances of blood coagulation if he did not resume oral intakes immediately. However, the JKLF Chief refused to do so.

The All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq visited the hospital, today, and inquired about the health of the JKLF leader.

The leaders and the activists of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front took out a procession in Srinagar today, which passed through Lal Chowk, Maisuma, Budshah Chowk, Harisingh High Street, Maharaj Bazar, Haba Kadal, Fateh Kadal, Khanqah-e-Mualla, Rajouri Kadal, Bhori Kadal, Zadibal and Hawal. They also staged a sit-in outside the Soura hospital where Muhammad Yasin Malik has been admitted in the intensive care unit.

Complete strike continued on the sixth day, today, in Srinagar, Islamabad and Sopore against the economic blockade and attacks on Muslims and their properties in Jammu by the Hindu communal groups.

On the other hand, over 7000 Hindu hooligans attacked the Jordian area of Akhnore setting ablaze 13 houses belonging to the Muslim community. The Hindu extremists looted cash and other household valuables before putting the houses on fire. They also demolished the walls of a mosque. Indian police raided the office of a local daily newspaper in Srinagar and subjected the staff to torture for reporting the incident.

Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred one youth in Handwara. A seventy-year-old civilian died due to heart attack following a blast in Bandipora.
 
Meanwhile, Executive Directors of Kashmir Centres in Washington and London, Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai and Professor Nazir Ahmed Shawl in their separate statements condemned the economic blockade by the Hindu zealots and also expressed solidarity with the JKLF Chairman.
