Shabir Ahmed Shah remembers Muhammad Afzal Guru on his martyrdom anniversary 

SRINAGAR, Feb 09 (SABAH): Senior leader All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Shabir Ahmed Shah 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 message from Tihar jail the incarcerated APHC leader said that the hanging of Afzal Guru was miscarriage of justice. The verdict against Guru, he said was slap on India’s judiciary and it’s entire legal system that brazenly violated the fundamentals of justice by denying him the right to fair trial. 

Shabir Ahmed Shah said that the Indian judiciary had miserably failed to uphold the independence and impartiality while hearing the cases of Kashmiris. “Despite no evidence of his involvement Guru was awarded death sentence for the crime he never committed and sent to gallows just to satisfy what they shamelessly called the collective conscience of the Indian nation”, he said adding that the verdict speaks volumes about the India’s falling justice system. 

 Shah 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.

Meanwhile, the incarcerated APHC leader took strong exception to Modi government’s forever eviction and demolition drive in Kashmir and termed it as a part of conspiracy to cripple Kashmiris economically and render them homeless.
