Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has paid glowing tributes to veteran leader Syed Ali Gilani on his fourth martyrdom anniversary, terming him an iconic symbol of resistance and a torchbearer of the Kashmir freedom struggle.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC Vice Chairman, Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar, in a statement in Srinagar said that Syed Ali Gilani was not just a leader but an institution whose lifelong struggle and sacrifices will continue to guide and inspire generations of freedom-loving Kashmiris. He described Gilani as an embodiment of courage, steadfastness and a legendary figure who dedicated his entire life to Islam and the just cause of Kashmir\u2019s freedom from Indian yoke.<\/p>\n
Gulzar said that Gilani commanded unparalleled respect among Kashmiris for his unwavering stance on the Kashmir dispute. \u201cDespite prolonged imprisonments, house arrests, mental torture and repeated assassination attempts by Indian agencies, Gilani stood like a rock against India\u2019s brutal occupation. His passion for resistance was invincible, and India can never erase Kashmiris\u2019 love for their beloved leader,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that Gilani\u2019s famous slogan \u201cWe are Pakistanis, Pakistan is ours\u201d reverberates in every nook and corner of occupied Kashmir even today, under the presence of over one million Indian troops. He stressed that Gilani remained a staunch supporter of Kashmir\u2019s merger with Pakistan throughout his life and never compromised on the right to self-determination.<\/p>\n
The APHC leader lamented that Gilani\u2019s custodial martyrdom in September 2021 was one of the most tragic episodes of Kashmir\u2019s history. \u201cThe Indian forces, terrified even of his dead body, snatched it from his family and buried him in the dead of night in absence of his loved ones,\u201d Gulzar said. He added that denying Kashmiris the right to offer funeral prayers for their iconic leader was an inhuman act that exposed New Delhi\u2019s cowardice.<\/p>\n
He described Gilani as the father of the present resistance movement, whose sermons, books and teachings educated Kashmiris about their rights and the curse of Indian slavery. \u201cGilani\u2019s struggle is a role model of fearlessness and unflinching commitment, transcending time, and will continue to kindle the spirit of resistance among future generations,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar reiterated the pledge that Kashmiris will keep treading the path shown by Syed Ali Gilani until the mission of freedom is achieved. \u201cEvery Kashmiri has become Gilani for India, and the struggle will continue until Jammu and Kashmir is freed from Indian occupation,\u201d he vowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
