AJK president pays tribute to Sardar Ibrahim Khan

Says students should raise their voice for the oppressed in IOK

RAWALKOT, AZAD KASHMIR: Azad Jammu and Kashmir President (AJK) Sardar Masood Khan has said the credit goes to leaders like Ghazi-e-Millat Khan for their struggle for the liberation of Kashmir.

Addressing a daylong conference on the life and achievements of Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim on Thursday, President Masood said decision taken by Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan and his associates to join Pakistan in July 19, 1947 even before the birth of Pakistan reflects his wisdom.

He termed Sardar Ibrahim an accomplished politician, military leader and an attorney. The president also paid tribute to the people of Poonch for their matchless sacrifices to liberate Kashmir from the Dogra rule.



AJK president urged the students and audience to play their role by raising their voice for the oppressed people of Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) through social media and other means of communication.

With regard to the struggle of Kashmiris in IOK, he said they have faced bullets and pellets with courage and determination, which sends a message to the Indian occupation forces that they can never force them to submission.

He deplored that 700,000 Indian occupation forces had created mayhem in IOK and turned it into a slaughterhouse. Commending the unwavering resolve of the leadership of Joint Resistance Movement including Syed Ali Gillani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik, Aasia Andarabi and others, the president voiced hope that their commitment and determination would take the freedom to its logical conclusion.



The event was organised by University of Poonch and was also addressed by former vice vhancellor of Azad Jammu and Kashmir University, Professor Dr Khawaja Farooq Ahmed, Professor Dr Zafar Hussain Zafar, Professor Masood Khan and others. The speakers highlighted various aspects of the life of Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan and achievements in their papers read out in the conference.
