DFP pays rich tributes to Shaheed Muhammad Afzal Guru

SRINAGAR, Feb 08 (SABAH): Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has paid rich tributes to Shaheed Muhammad Afzal Guru who was hanged to death in Tihar jail for his role in the ongoing freedom movement.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the DFP Spokesman Advocate Arshad Iqbal said that the hanging of Afzal Guru was a “miscarriage of justice”. The verdict against Guru, he said, was a “slap on India’s judiciary and its entire legal system” that brazenly violated the fundamentals of justice by denying him the right to a fair trial.

He said that the Indian judiciary had miserably failed to uphold independence and impartiality while hearing the cases of Kashmiris. The spokesman while praying great tributes to the Kashmiri martyrs expressed the hope that the day was not far when subjugated but determined masses of Kashmir will see the dawn of freedom.

Pertinently, Afzal Guru was hanged hanged to death on 9 February in Tihar jail. The mortal remains of Shaheed Guru remain buried in the premises of the notorious jail.
