The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter has said that martyred leader, Sheikh Abdul Aziz was a true soldier of Kashmiris’ freedom struggle who preferred martyrdom but never bowed before Indian military might.
The APHC-AJK chapter Convener, Mehmood Ahmad Saghar, in a statement, while recalling the contributions of Shaikh Abdul Aziz on his 14th martyrdom anniversary, towards the Kashmir freedom struggle, said that he was one of the pioneers of the ongoing resistance movement who lived and died for the sacred cause of freedom.
He said the martyred leader dedicated his whole life for the cause and worked tirelessly for making the resistance movement a success at the gross root level on multiple dimensions. It was his sincerity, honesty, dedication, fearlessness, and courage for the cause which made him a specific target of Indian forces and agencies and under a well-hatched criminal conspiracy he was assassinated on this day in 2008 in Uri Baramulla, he added.
The APHC-AJK Convener said, “Shaikh Abdul Aziz will always be remembered as a leader who always believed to lead from the front and his immense contributions would form a golden chapter of our resistance history.”
Meanwhile, the leaders and members of the APHC-AJK chapter in their statements said the martyred leader fought selflessly for the freedom of Kashmir till his last breath and he continues to inspire the Kashmiri people. They said that Shaikh Aziz was a passionate advocate of Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan.
