APHC pays tributes to Quaid-e-Azam on his birth anniversary

Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) paying tributes to founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on his birth anniversary, today, said Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was determined to go to any extent for freedom of Kashmir.

According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC leaders Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, Bashir Andrabi, Khawaja Firdous, Muhammad Shafi Lone, Muhammad Saleem Zargar, Fiyaz Hussain Jafri and Syed Sibte Shabbir Qumi and Maulana Musaib Nadvi in their separate statements issued in Srinagar said that Qaid-e-Azam was a great visionary leader and Muslims of South Asia who fought for separate homeland and finally got it in 1947 under his dynamic leadership.

They said that people of Kashmir were part and parcel of the Pakistan movement and they fought shoulder to shoulder for the emergence of Pakistan. He said that people of Kashmir had great love for Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Pakistan and they believed that Pakistan would only complete when Kashmir would be freed from Indian slavery and become part of it.

The statements said that Quaid-e-Azam used to call Kashmir a jugular vein and economic backbone of Pakistan. He said that accession to Pakistan is the destiny of the Kashmiris and the Kashmiri people are rendering their lives for the completion of Pakistan.

They said Quaid-e-Azam had correctly pointed out that Muslims needed a separate state to secure their future in the sub-continent while Article 370 revocation once again proved that Muslims needed a separate state in the sub-continent as Kashmiris’ struggle for freedom from Indian bondage is based on Two-Nation Theory.
