Pakistan's interim PM includes Yasin Malik's wife in his cabinet, appoints her as Minister for Human Rights.
Pakistan Government: Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the acting prime minister of Pakistan, has appointed Mushaal Hussain Malik, the wife of jailed separatist leader Yasin Malik, to his cabinet. She has been appointed as the Minister for Human Rights of Pakistan. On May 25, 2022, Yasin Malik, the leader of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), received a life sentence after being found guilty by a National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in counts involving funding for terrorism.
Yasin Malik, the leader of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) in India, is married to Pakistani national Mushaal Hussain Malik. When Yasin traveled to Islamabad in 2005 to rally support for the Kashmiri separatist movement, they crossed paths. Yasin’s speech pleased Malik, who complimented her profusely. In 2009, the couple wed after falling in love.
Malik made two trips to India in 2014. Yasin Malik’s wife has not expressed any interest in traveling to India since that time, nor has she filed for a visa after her two-year visa expired in 2015, a home ministry official had earlier claimed.
