After the prayer

anniversaries of these great martyrs. At reaching Bichroo Kulgam JKLF Chairman
and delegation was stopped by hundreds of people of the area especially youth

While speaking to
the people on the occasion ,JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik said that today
we are remembering the great sacrifices of our martyrs Shaheed Ishfaq Majeed
Wani, Shaheed Syed Shabir Sidiqi and others who were massacred by Indian forces
inside Dargah Hazrat Bal .Two days before we remembered another great son of
Kashmir Shaheed advocate Jalil Ahmad Indrabi and on 1st April another great Kashmiri doctor Abdul
Ahad Guru embraced martyrdom and we are remembering him by arranging many
programs. Yasin Malik asked why these great people sacrificed their lives. For
what they chose the path of horns and nourished our land with their sacred
blood? Did they ask us for any favor? Did they sacrifice their lives for
somebody’s assembly or parliamentary seat?
Yasin Malik
said that these great souls sacrifice their tomorrow for the betterment of our today. They
sacrifice their lives for our freedom. They did not sacrifice their lives for
any assembly, parliament or voting. So as a living nation it is our moral, social
and sacred duty to safeguard their sacrifices and refrain from all those acts
including participating in Indian elections, as these are detrimental to the
sacred mission for which these great martyrs laid down their lives for.
While remembering
his friend and greater Kashmiri martyr Shaheed I Kashmir Ishfaq Majeed Wani,
Yasin Malik said Ishfaq sahib was a great leader who strived for the freedom of
our nation and sacrificed his blood to nourish the plant of freedom struggle.
He said that Ashfaq Majeed Wani was a born leader and the days and years of his
life from 5th September
1966 to 30th march 1990 are
a shining evidence of his greatness. He said that Ashfaq Majeed Wani was a
humble slave of Allah almighty who whenever took a step took that in the way of
truth and justice. He was a symbol of Courage, Fearlessness, religiousness,
passion, and resistance against the False and injustice. Torture cells, jails
and other ways and means of oppression could never deter him from his way and
he stood firm in the way of freedom movement till the hour of his martyrdom,
said Yasin Malik. He said that it was Ashfaq Majeed Wani’s gallant leadership
in 1988 that gave courage to hundreds of young men to stand up for the cause of
freedom and independence of mother land. Ashfaq Majid Wani led a people’s
revolution in 1990 and changed the 5000 year old f history of Kashmir. It was
his leadership that united a nation which was tagged as coward and inactive for
the just cause of freedom and history bears a witness that thousands of young
people followed Ashfaq Majeed Wani in this struggle. Ashfaq Majeed always gave
Priority to others but when it came to sacrifices, Ashfaq Majeed led from the
front and sacrificed his life for the cause of freedom. Bravery, courage and
truthfulness were blended in his blood and cold weathers or hot seasons always
failed to stop his march to the desired goals. He said that Ashfaq Majeed was a
Practicing follower of Quran, a brave commander, a wise political leader, a
refined diplomat, a fiery speaker, a respected student and a great athlete.
Above all he was an inspiring personality who had courage to call a spade a
spade and look into the eyes of tyrant and tyranny and fight against it with
firmness .Yasin Malik said that truly he was a True picture of great
Predecessors and true follower of father of nation Mohammad Maqbool Butt
shaheed .
While paying
tributes to martyr Shabir Ahmad Sidiqi and other martyrs of Dargah Hazrat Bal,
Yasin Malik said that Shaheed Sidiqi sahib was a religious scholar and a man of
wisdom who strived and sacrificed his life for the freedom of Kashmir. Sidiqi
sahib will also be remembered for his philanthropy and work in the field of
education. His sacrifices will always shine as will the sacrifices of doctor
Abdul Ahad Guru, advocate Jalil Indrabi and Lakhs of our great martyrs who
strived in the way of freedom and sacrificed their lives for the cause.
Yasin Malik said
that a nation that has lost its doctors, engineers ,scholars, intellectuals,
teachers, imams, priests, pilots, brave men and women, lawyers, and
people from every walk of life while perusing a just cause, a nation whose
thousands were killed by forces in custody, whose thousands stand absconding in
custody, the chastity of whose mothers and sisters was attacked and markets and
localities ruined ,and where army, forces, police and agencies are given a free
license to kill without any fear of being penalized of brought to justice of
which a glaring example has been set today by the rulers through shelving the probe
into civilian killings of 2010 ,cannot and should not do anything that will
harm the sacred mission of the martyrs.
Yasin said that
voting’s either for Indian parliament, or assemblies or Panchayats,
municipalities and Niyabats etc means a betrayal to the martyrs and the sacred
cause for which they laid down their lives and no honorable kashmiri can afford
to do so. Yasin Malik appealed to the people to remember the sacrifices and
refrain from any kind of participation in Indian elections. At the end of the
program, enthusiastic youth took out a rally and raised slogans in favor of
Azadi and martyrs.
