Syed Ali Gilani’s 5th martyrdom anniversary being observed today
Srinagar: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world are observing the fifth martyrdom anniversary of the legendary Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Gilani, today, September 01, with renewed resolve to carry forward his mission of freedom.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the veteran leader, Syed Ali Gilani, died in Indian captivity on September 01, 2021, at his residence in Srinagar, where he had been kept under continuous house arrest for over a decade.
Call for observance of the day was given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.
Despite restrictions, people visited the Hyderpora graveyard, where Syed Ali Gilani is buried, to offer Fateha for the martyred leader and other Kashmiri martyrs. Imams and khateebs held special prayers for the towering leader and other Kashmiri martyrs in mosques.
Kashmiris living across the world are raising their voices to draw the attention of the international community to Indian brutalities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The APHC said the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would not be allowed to go to waste and that their mission would be accomplished at all costs.
“Syed Ali Gilani’s unwavering dedication to the Kashmir cause will inspire generations to come,” the APHC said, adding that his spirit of resistance continues to fuel the Kashmiris’ struggle for freedom, while his lifelong quest for Jammu and Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan remains a testament to his unshakable resolve. “The profound imprint of his leadership is eternally etched in Kashmir’s history,” it further said.
Kashmiris around the world said the slogan “Hum Pakistani Hain, Pakistan Hamara Hai” endures as a symbol of Gilani’s vision. “Carrying forward his mission is the greatest tribute to his legacy.”
