A conference was organized by Tehreek-e-Istiqlal Jammu and Kashmir on the occasion of the death anniversary of Shaheed Afzal Guru. A rally was also organized after the conference.

Vice Chairman Tehreek-e-Istiqlal Jammu and Kashmir Mushtaq Ahmed Butt, Secretary General of Liberation Cell Imtiaz Hussain, Hamid Jamil Kashmiri,Chairman Pasbaan e Hurriyat Uzair Ahmad Ghazali, Deputy Administrator Baldia Iram Qureshi, and others.
Tehreek-e-Istiqlal Jammu and Kashmir Youth Wing Chairman Tanveer Durrani Secretary Riaz Awan, Organizer Faizullah Durrani also addressed the gathering.Addressing the conference, the speakers said that today, on the occasion of Martyrdom of Afzal Guru Shaheed on February 9, we pay homage to him and reiterate that we will continue our struggle till the independence of Kashmir. Never forget the sacrifice of martyrs.
The speakers said that the martyrdom of thousands of martyrs of Jammu and Kashmir including Shaheed Maqbool Butt who sacrificed their lives for the independence movement of Kashmir will never be in vain. Inshallah the sun of independence of Kashmir will rise soon.Today we pay tribute to the great martyrs whose warm blood is involved in this movement.
He further said that by hanging the legends of Tehreek-e-Azadi Kashmir Muhammad Maqbool Butt Shaheed and Afzal Guru Shaheed on a gallows and burying their bodies in Tihar Jail, the Indian rulers could not frighten the Kashmiri people but on the contrary, the Kashmiri people’s passion grew more for independence.
By hanging Muhammad Maqbool Butt on a gallows on February 11, 1984, the Indian rulers and their state agents thought that this act would demoralize those who dreamed of independence in Jammu and Kashmir and would be willing to endure a life of slavery. But this martyrdom gave birth to thousands of popular and noble people. The ugly face of Indian rulers was exposed all over the world and the freedom movement became stronger and stronger.
