Paying tributes to martyrs, the spokesperson said history will remember them always."Though there are hundreds of similar massacres but 1947 martyrs assume a unique status as they were put to death under deception."He said: "The Muslims and other peace loving communities of Jammu have to follow the mission for which the 1947 martyrs sacrificed their lives. They have to foil the wicked conspiracies of the communal elements."Pledging to take forward the mission of martyrs, the DFP spokesperson said a meeting was organised at party headquarters where speakers paid rich tributes to 1947 martyrs.
