Islamabad, August 30, 2023 (PPI-OT): Senior APHC-AJK leader Muhammad Farooq Rehmani while paying glowing tributes to veteran martyred leader Syed Ali Gilani ahead of his 2nd martyrdom anniversary said, “Indian-Hindutva power in occupied Jammu and Kashmir has failed to break the will power of the iconic leader during his struggle for the freedom of Kashmir”.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement issued in Islamabad said, Syed Ali Gilani was a personality of spirit, moral principles and unusual determination, and he lived and died for a great and sacred cause.

“When the illegal and forcible occupants of Jammu and Kashmir couldn’t force him to surrender his faith and ideology before them, they used all means to torture him and finally he was arrested and detained in 2010 despite his many ailments and his own house was made a sub-jail. He was in his house sub-jail under the police and army seige till his death on 1st Sept. 2021,” he added.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said that Mr. Gilani in his final years was facing serious cardiac and other ailments, but he was not freed from detention till he breathed his last.

Rehmani said that the scenario after Syed Ali Gilani’s death had become more vulnerable while India military power had totally failed to suppress or win over the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He added that the martyrdom week was being observed across Jammu and Kashmir by the Kashmiris not only to remember Syed Ali Gilani and all other martyrs of Kashmir, but also to reaffirm the people’s pledge to continue the freedom struggle till each and every Indian military man quit the Occupied region of Jammu and Kashmir and the Kashmiris achieve their right of self-determination “.
