LoC bars sister from brother's bier: Mushaal's Kashmir Cry

ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Apr, 2026) Mushaal Hussein Mullick, wife of jailed Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik, issued a heart-rending appeal on Monday, decrying the "heart-wrenching helplessness" of a Kashmiri sister barred from her brother's funeral just steps away across the Line of Control (LoC), unable to touch his bier or bid farewell.

MS Malik urged the world to see Kashmir not as a mere border dispute but as humanity's test amid thousands of sundered families.

In her emotional statement, Mushaal described the tragic scene involving Raja Liaquat Ali Khan's funeral, where his body lay "on that side" while his sister and family watched helplessly from "this side," their final glimpse lost to the divide.

"What kind of helplessness is this?" she asked.

"A sister stands just a few steps away, but cannot reach her brother's funeral, cannot touch him,the distances devour even that last meeting."

She framed the incident as emblematic of broader suffering. "This is no single event but a living image of thousands of Kashmiri families torn apart.

These distances aren't just of land; they are wounds on hearts that never heal."Mushaal, speaking against the backdrop of persistent LoC restrictions preventing family reunions even in mourning, called on the global community: "

The world must now feel this pain because if this sorrow is understood, perhaps Kashmir's story could change."Mushaal Mullick added.
