Mirwaiz claimed that AAC represents the continuity of the freedom struggle from there onwards.
The Hurriyat (M) Chairman said that Mou-e-Muqadas Action Committee was formed in 1964 and that all the leaders played their role for the release of National Conference leader Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who was in jail that time.
