\"\"Srinagar:The People’s Democratic Party in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, while paying tribute to the martyrs of July 13, 1931, has said that this day is a symbol of the struggle of the Kashmiri people against oppression and injustice, which cannot be forgotten under any circumstances.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the PDP at a meeting in Srinagar unanimously resolved to visit the Mazar-e-Shuhada on July 13 to pay tribute to the 1931 martyrs..<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, party Vice President Sartaj Madni underscored the deep historical significance of the day, calling it a reminder of the people\u2019s struggle against tyranny and injustice.<\/p>\n

Mohammad Khursheed Alam, General Secretary, while speaking in the meeting said, \u201cThe sacrifices made on July 13, 1931, laid the foundation of the political consciousness in Jammu and Kashmir. While the present dispensation may have erased the day as an official holiday, they cannot erase the truth or the history it represents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Senior leader Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura reaffirmed that no official order can diminish the legacy of the martyrs or the ideals for which they stood. Their sacrifices, the party said, remain etched in the collective memory of the people and will continue to inspire future generations.<\/p>\n

The party also criticised the continued attempts to dilute IOJK\u2019s unique political and historical identity, asserting that suppressing symbols of collective memory will only deepen the people\u2019s resolve to protect their legacy, said the statement.<\/p>\n

The PDP reiterated its commitment to democratic values, dignity, and historical truth, adding honoring July 13 is not just a matter of tradition, but a moral obligation owed to those who laid down their lives for justice and representation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
