SRINAGAR (Kashmir English): The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has paid rich tribute to noted Kashmiri Hurriyat activist Ghulam Muhammad Bulla on the eve of his 51st martyrdom anniversary.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Ghulam Muhammad Bulla, a resident of the Sopore area of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, was tortured to death in Central Jail Srinagar on the night of February 15, 1975.
He was buried by Indian police in Sopore without informing anyone in an attempt to conceal the crime committed behind the fortified walls of the Srinagar prison.
Bulla was arrested by Indian police in Sopore and later martyred in custody on this day in 1975 at Central Jail Srinagar for leading a protest rally against the Indira–Abdullah Accord.
Sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs
APHC spokesman Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar while paying tribute to Ghulam Muhammad Bulla, said that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would not be allowed to go waste and that their mission would be accomplished at all costs.
Right from 1947, Indian establishment with black laws has been trying to suppress the voice of Kashmiris by force, but neither it succeeded in the past, nor will it succeed in future, he added.
Meanwhile, APHC-AJK leader Mehmood Ahmed Saghar, while paying glowing tributes to Shaheed Bulla, said, “Unfolding of this accord between the then PM of India Indra Gandhi and Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah caused unusual turmoil across Jammu and Kashmir spreading public anger against Sheikh Abdullah and Indian leaders. Mass resistance movement gripped the occupied territory, and during one of such demonstrations Muhammad Bulla was arrested in Sopore.”
