Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Dec 4: As the State wide holiday is observed every year on December 5 to commemorate the birth anniversary of National Conference founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, it's claimed that Sheikh was not born on December 5 but on January 29.
The claim was vindicated by the close aide and confidant of Sheikh, Mohammad Yousuf Taing. He says that Sheikh was not born on December 5, 1905, but on January 29, 1903.
"I argued with Sheikh Sahib about it and told him that December 5 is not his actual date of birth. Sheikh Sahib admitted that his brother had registered his wrong birth date and year," said Taing.
Taing was the sole amanuensis of late Sheikh's autobiography entitled 'Aatish-e-Chinar' which won the Sahitya Akademi award.
Contesting that December 5 is not the actual birth date of NC founder, Taing claims that he had wrongly mentioned his date of birth as December 5.
Taing said that Sheikh at that time told him that the Muslims at that time were not serious in mentioning the actual date of birth of children and that his brother at that time had registered the wrong date.
Taing further claimed that he told Sheikh to rectify the error and that the misinformation must not spread. On this Taing quoted Sheikh as saying, "It will trouble my supporters and general masses will get disturbed if I do any such act."
Taing claimed that Sheikh decided that neither the actual birth date shall be mentioned, nor the incorrect one shall be entertained in his autobiography.
Taing has worked as the Director of Information, Cultural Adviser to Chief Minister, and Director General of Culture. |
