Opposed the hanging of Maqbool Bhatt

Maqbool Bhat was a resident of Sopore (Baramulla) and Yasin was known among his close friends. When the court of Kashmiri Pandit Judge Neelkanth Ganju sentenced him to death, Yasin Malik strongly opposed it. Yasin Malik’s Tala Party put up posters and demonstrated against the decision to hang Maqbool Bhat in Kashmir. Yasin was sent to jail on this charge. 4292 Yasin Malik came out of jail and renamed Tala Party as Islamic Student League and started connecting Kashmiri students with it. In some time, the organization of Islamic Student League became big and names like Ashfaq Wani, Javed Mir and Abdul Hameed Sheikh were also associated with it. Ashfaq Wani’s name became known throughout the country during when he kidnapped the daughter of Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
