Muhammad Maqbool Butt’s execution was murder of justice: Mushaal Mullick


ISLAMABAD, Feb 11 (SABAH): The Chairperson of Peace and Culture Organisation, Mushaal Hussein Mullick paid glowing tributes to Shaheed Azam Shaheed Muhammad Maqbool Ahmed Butt and said the he rekindled the flame of freedom struggle by happily touching the glows, whose execution was the murder of justice.

Speaking as a chief guest at an event to mark 39th martyrdom anniversary of Muhammad Maqbool But on Saturday, Mushaal Mullick said that Maqbool Butt was a versatile personality, who always led from the front to liberate the Kashmiris from the Indian brutal subjugation.

Maqbool Butt was sent to the gallows on February 11 in 1984 in notorious New Delhi’s Tihar Jail for his crime to spearheaded Kashmir freedom movement.  She said that martyrs were real asset of Kashmiris freedom struggle and Kashmiri people could not forget sacrifices of their martyrs come what may.

The event was organized by Government Associate College (W) F-Block, which was attended by Principal Mrs Erum Asher, the Co-Chairperson Peace and Culture Organisation Rehana Hussein Mullick and Daughter of Kashmiri Hurriyat Leader, Yasin Malik, Raziyah Sultana.

On the occasion, Kashmir tableau was presented to mark Kashmir martyrdom day.

Mushaal Mullick, wife of jailed Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik, said: “Time to remember and pay tribute to Shaheed Maqbool Ahmed Butt, who was an icon of Kashmir resistance movement and sacrificed his life for the noble cause of freedom from Indian yoke.

The hurriyat leader said that although fascist Indian government silenced him by sending him to the gallows but failed to silence his ultimate desire – the struggle for the people of Kashmir for right to self-determination. She made it clear that said the spirit of freedom of Kashmiris can never be suppressed through executions, illegal detentions and other brutal tactics by India fascist authorities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) rather these fascist tendencies further ignite the fire of freedom struggle.

Mushaal Hussein Mullick said that the martyrs were the symbols of the Kashmiris’ freedom struggle against Indian yoke. Mushaal reiterated that sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would not be allowed to go waste as Kashmiri people were duty-bound to safeguard the martyrs’ sacrifices by taking the mission of their martyrs to logical ends at all costs.

She urged notorious India government to accept the bitter reality and the Kashmiri people decide their own fate, as the hindutva regime could not achieve the desired results by these brutal tactics for the last seven decades.
