Mushaal pays tribute to Burhan Wani on his Martyrdom day

ISLAMABAD, Jul 08 (APP): Chairperson Peace and Culture Organization and wife of jailed Kashmiri freedom fighter Yasin Malik, Mushaal Hussein Mullick on Wednesday paid tribute to Burhan Muzaffar Wani on his eighth martyrdom anniversary, describing him as a symbol of the Kashmiri freedom movement.

In a video message issued from Islamabad, the former special assistant to the prime minister said Wani’s legacy continues to inspire generations of Kashmiris and renewed her call for international attention to the situation in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Malik said Burhan Wani’s courage and resistance against oppression by Indian forces had made him an enduring inspiration for Kashmiri youth.

She said the movement associated with Wani had expanded across Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and continued to shape the modern freedom struggle.

Mushaal said Wani transformed the movement by using digital communication platforms to bypass media restrictions and project the situation in the region before the international community.

She said his efforts amplified the aspirations of a generation seeking dignity and the right to self determination, drawing wider global attention to developments in Jammu and Kashmir.

She said the sacrifices of Burhan Wani and other Kashmiri martyrs would continue to inspire the political and peaceful struggle for the right to self determination.

Mushaal said thousands of young Kashmiris had carried forward Wani’s mission by raising their voices against alleged human rights violations and advocating for their rights on international forums.

She urged the international community and global human rights organisations to take notice of the humanitarian situation in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and called for attention to the continued detention of Kashmiri political leaders.
