24th Death Anniversary of Maqbool Bhat being observerd today

11 February 2008 is being commemorated as Maqbool Bhat’s 24th death anniversary. On this day the scene was set to make a modern day legend for Kashmir. On this day Kashmiris remember their hero with honors and pride. Kashmiri nationalist groups, on both sides of the dreaded line of control and all over the world, remember him well but his adversaries who had hoped that he would be forgotten with the passage of time wish their nightmare was over. Born after his death, young men of age 22 who have grown up with the only undisputed name in Kashmir’s turbulent history are not likely to forget his dream and his mission. That name will live on for centuries to come.

Today, the 24th Death Anniversary of Shaheed-e-Kashmir is being observed throughout Jammu & Kashmir on both sides of the line of control including Bagh. The day will start with the special prayers for the soul of Shaheed Bhat. Our correspondent, Yousuf Kashmiri from Bagh reports, this year, all the nationalist organizations have decided to celebrate Maqbool Bhat's day together. These organizations include UKPNP, JKPNP, NAP, NSF and JKLF.
