Fulfilling the demand by newly inaugurated Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan to rename Azad Jammu and Kashmir University after Shaheed Syed Ali Gilani is a welcoming move and yet another step to strength the base camp for freedom of occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
This was stated by UK-based Kashmiri diaspora leader Fahim Kayani in a statement in London. “Kashmiris in IIOJK and across the world welcome this move,” Kayani said, lauding the prime minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
“Such initiatives only reaffirm the stand of leadership in base camp as well as Pakistan as it sends a positive yet strong message to our brothers and sisters in IIOJK that we will not leave them in lurch,” said Kayani, who leads Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK.
Syed Ali Gilani, the epitome of resistance against illegal Indian military occupation in IIOK, attained martyrdom on September 01, 2021.
He was under house arrest since October 2010 for leading resistance movement against India. “India can do anything and can go to any extent but the courage and resistance shown by Shaheed Gilani will be written in golden words in Kashmir’s resistance movement against India,” said Kayani.
He recalled his meeting with Pakistani Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan who had moved resolution in Senate of Pakistan to honour contributions of late Gilani to freedom of Kashmir from India.—KMS
