Srinagar Apr (KNS):  The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and MP from Srinagar Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Vice President Omar Abdullah on Sunday paid glowing tributes to Shayar-e-Kashmir Pirzada Ghulam Ahmad Mehjoor on the observance of annual Mehjoor day.

Dr Farooq in his message said, “As the bard of nature and voice of working classes, Mehjoor stands supreme. His love of Nature was probably truer, and tenderer, than that of any other Kashmiri poets before or since.  He occupies an independent status in the poetic circles of Kashmir on account of his giving voice to the sorrow-stricken hearts of people of his era; his couplets are obsessed with the emotions of the realities of his era. His poems became the nationalist anthems of the people of Kashmir in their struggle against feudalism and autocracy. The struggle of political awakening and dissent brought about by Sher-e-Kashmir also echoes in his poetry. On this day I pay glowing tributes to the great poet of ours.”

While paying tributes to Mehjoor Omar Abdullah said, “I pay my tributes to Shayar-e-Kashmir Peerzada Ghulam Ahmed Mehjoor on his 71st death anniversary, observed as Mehjoor day. Mehjoor stands supreme as the cry of the wordless weak and as a perceptive bard of nature. His poems had become the anthems of the struggle of political awakening brought about by Sher-e-Kashmir among the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”

Party General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Additional General Secretary Dr Sheikh Mustufa Kamal, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, Chief Spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq, Former MP Sharief Ud Din Shariq, senior leaders Muhammad Shafi Uri, AR Rather, Party MPs Muhammad Akbar Lone, Hasnain Masoodi have also paid glowing tributes to Shayar- e-Kashmir Mehjoor on Mehjoor Day.

Meanwhile party rank and file had also remembered party stalwarts Muhammad Subhaan Bhat of Tral and Ghulam Qadir Muran of Muran Rajpura on their death anniversaries with great reverence. 

Party President and Vice President while recalling the service and sacrifice of the party stalwarts said that their life and struggle will never be forgotten and will keep strengthening the resolve of the party functionaries towards working for a better Jammu and Kashmir. 

Dr Farooq while paying tributes to two leaders said, “Both Bhat Sb and Mir Sb stood in defence of their principles till the last breath. A true friend of people, they sacrificed their lives upholding the cardinal  principles of democracy, human dignity and public cause. May Almighty Allah elevate their stations in Jannat.”
Meanwhile party local unit functionaries offered Fatiha and floral tributes at the final resting places of the party veterans in Tral and Rajpora. (KNS)
