Srinagar, Dec 5 (KMW): While paying glowing tributes to her father Late Sher-e-Kashmir on his 108th birth anniversary, Awami National Conference (ANC) President, Begum Khalida Shah said that it was the result of the struggle, vision and endeavours of her father (Sher-e-Kashmir), who along with his comrades gave Kashmir freedom from the centuries old tyrannical and barbarian autocratic rule.
In a statement issued to KMW, Begum Shah has said that it was Sher-e-Kashmir who felt the pain of his people and sensitized the masses against the atrocities and exploitation of the tyrannical Dogra rule and gave them the vision of independence, free and dignified living. It was in this backdrop only that the revolt of 13th July 1931 occurred in which dozens of ‘Sons of the soil’ attained martyrdom.
The birth anniversary of late Sher-e-Kashmir was also observed at the headquarters of ANC here, in which the entire leadership of the party participated actively. While paying glowing tributes to the tallest leader of Kashmir the speakers unanimously maintained that it was Sher-e-Kashmir who stepped on to the ground against the atrocities and injustices of the tyrannical autocratic rule when the entire valley was chained in slavery and despotism. The graet Leader broke the shackles and helped people breakaway and rise up against all the atrocities and live in an atmosphere of free existence, liberty and dignified living.
Later on the party men under the leadership of their Senior Vice-President and grandson of Sher-e-Kashmir, Jenab Muzaffar Shah visited Sher-e-Kashmir’s mausoleum where they paid their obeisance and floral tributes to the tallest leader Kashmir has ever produced.
