Kashmir Center Lahore remembers iconic youth leader on martyrdom anniversary
Karachi/Lahore: Speakers at a massive rally in Karachi paid glowing tribute to Shaheed Burhan Muzaffar Wani on his ninth martyrdom anniversary and reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to his mission for the liberation of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) from Indian occupation.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the rally was organized by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter. The rally started from the Arts Council of Pakistan and culminated at the Karachi Press Club, drawing large participation from political, religious, and civil society representatives, including minority communities.
The event was led by APHC-AJK Convener Ghulam Muhammad Safi, and attended by Hurriyat leaders including Advocate Parvaiz Ahmad Shah, Syed Yousuf Naseem, Zahid Ashraf, Sheikh Abdul Majid, Raja Khadim Hussain, and others. Also in attendance were AJK Assembly Member Amir Ghaffar Lone, PPP Karachi General Secretary Javed Nagori, MQM MPA Talha Ahmed Khan, Markazi Muslim League leaders Faisal Nadeem and Ahmed Nadeem, and representatives from Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, and religious minorities, including the Hindu, Sikh, and Christian communities.
Addressing the rally, the speakers paid rich tribute to Burhan Wani and all Kashmiri martyrs. They condemned Indian atrocities in IOJK and praised Pakistan Army for its robust response to Indian aggression, particularly under the leadership of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
The speakers affirmed that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would never be forgotten and emphasized that the resistance movement has only gained momentum despite brutal Indian suppression. They hailed Burhan Wani as a symbol of resistance and a guiding light for the youth of Kashmir.
APHC-AJK Convener Ghulam Muhammad Safi said the rally had sent a strong message to the world that the Kashmir dispute must be resolved in accordance with United Nations Security Council resolutions.
He lauded COAS Field Marshal Asim Munir for reaffirming Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s statement that “Kashmir is Pakistan’s jugular vein,” and for declaring that Pakistan is ready to fight not just three but even ten wars if necessary to support the Kashmiri people.
Safi emphasized that wars are not won by numbers but by faith, unity, and resolve, and praised the unity shown by Pakistanis across political and religious lines in support of Kashmir.
Meanwhile, a commemorative rally was also held in Lahore under the banner of Kashmir Center Lahore, where speakers remembered Burhan Wani as a revolutionary youth icon who gave the Kashmir freedom movement a new spirit and direction.
Speakers included PPP’s Ghulam Abbas Mir, former parliamentary secretary Dr. Farzana Nazir, Hurriyat leader Engineer Mushtaq Mehmood, Inam-ul-Hassan, Farooq Azad, Qazi Anwar, and Professor Nazar Bhinder, among others.
They said that Shaheed Burhan Wani was not just a person, but an ideology, a symbol of resistance, and a beacon of hope for the Kashmiri youth. Through his social media outreach, he not only exposed the atrocities of the Indian army but also rekindled the passion for freedom among an entire generation.
They pledged that Burhan Wani’s mission will continue until Kashmiris are granted their right to self-determination and the dream of a free Kashmir is realized.
