Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik Monday said youth icon and symbol of Kashmiri resistance Ishfaq Majeed Wani was a great leader who strived for the freedom of this nation and sacrificed himself for the righteous cause.
The nation can never forget the struggle and services of this great soul, Malik who arrived back today from Delhi said, while remembering his friend and leader Ashfaq on his anniversary.
Ashfaq Majeed Wani was a born leader and the days and years of his life from 5th September 1966 to 30th march 1990 are a shining evidence of his greatness. Ashfaq Majeed Wani was a humble slave of Allah almighty who whenever took a step strived in the way of truth and justice. He was a symbol of courage, fearlessness, religiousness, passion, and resistance against the false and injustice. Torture cells, jails and other ways and means of oppression could never deter him from his way and he stood firm in the way of freedom movement till the hour of his martyrdom, he said in a statement to KNS.
It was Ashfaqs gallant leadership in 1988 that gave courage to hundreds of young men to stand up for the cause of freedom and independence of mother land. Ashfaq led a peoples revolution in 1990 and changed the 5000 year old history of Kashmir. It was his leadership that united a nation which was tagged as coward and inactive for the just cause of freedom and history bears a witness that thousands of young people followed Ashfaq in this struggle. Ashfaq always gave priority to others but when it came to sacrifices, Ashfaq led from the front and sacrificed his life for freedom, Malik said.
Bravery, courage and truthfulness were blended in his blood and cold weathers or hot seasons always failed to stop his march to the desired goals. Ashfaq was a practicing follower of Quran, a brave commander, a wise political leader, a refined diplomat, a fiery speaker, a respected student and a great athlete .Above all he was an inspiring personality who had courage to call a spade a spade and look into the eyes of tyrant and oppressors and fight against it with firmness, Malik said that he was a true picture of great Predecessors and follower of father of nation Mohammad Maqbool Bhat.
