ANC pays tributes to Begum
Abdullah
(VOS)
Srinagar, July 10: Jammu
and Kashmir Awami National Conference has paid rich tributes to
Madar-e-Meherban, late Begum Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah. On the eve of her 12th
death anniversary, a meeting was held at the party headquarters here today with
general-secretary, advocate Mir Muhammad Shafi, in the chair.
Apart from a large number
of party workers, the meeting was attended by vice-president, Mir Amanullah
Kanth, provincial president, Muhammad Lateef Khan, and senior leader, Iftikhar
Bandey.
Addressing the meeting, the
speakers recalled the tribulations and miseries late Begum Abdullah had
suffered during her active political career spanning over half a century,
particularly through the Plebiscite Front movement and incarceration of
Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah.
“The epoch-making
personality of Madar-e-Meherban Begum Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah
needs no introduction. She is remembered for her leadership qualities and for
her zeal to serve the lesser mortals of the society in Jammu and Kashmir
because of which she was called Madar-e-Meherban (affectionate mother),” the
speakers said, adding that her 12th death anniversary was being observed all
over the state tomorrow.
“True to her beliefs and
perceptions, Begum Abdullah proved herself to be a messiah for the indigent and
helpless women, of which the Markaz-e-Khawateen at Miskeen Bagh, Srinagar, is
an eloquent testimony. The state’s women were particularly influenced by her
imaginative views,” they said describing her leadership during the freedom
struggle as the golden era of Kashmir’s history.
Late Begum Abdullah
inspired a massive development effort for the areas dominated by various
neglected and downtrodden people like Gujjars, Paharis and those living in
destitution.
In her message, the party
president, Begum Khalidah Shah, said the Madar-e-Meherban had worked till her
last breath for the overall welfare of not merely a particular segment or
community but for the entire humanity. “She has left behind the legacy of lofty
ideals which need to be followed to solve most problems the state faces,” the
ANC president said.
Meanwhile, the party has
expressed profound grief over the demise of Dr Rauf Ahmad Buchh. A condolence
meeting was held at the party headquarters with the provincial president,
Muhammad Lateef Khan, in chair. The meeting expressed deep sympathy with the
party’s senior vice-president, Muzaffar Shah, Javed Ahmad Ashai, Tauseef Ahmad
Shah, Mir Amanullah Kanth and other members of the bereaved family.
Later, a party delegation
led by the provincial president visited the bereaved family to offer personal
condolences.
