While paying rich tributes to Late Abdullah, Party rank and file called him father figure and political colossus, who helped change Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Former Minister and President, Central Zone JKNC, Babu Rampaul said that throughout his charismatic political career, Sher-e-Kashmir symbolized the aspirations of Jammu and Kashmir people as no single individual could have even dreamed of doing. "The best tribute to Sher-e-Kashmir will be to strengthen amity among Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. He said the slogan of 'Hindu, Muslim, Sikh Itihaad' preached and practiced by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah is continuously reverberating the valleys, planes and mountains of the State. This is central to the glorious fabric of the state," he said. "Although rooted in Kashmir, he had attained a national standing with his name becoming synonymous in the minds of countrymen with the socialism, humanism, pluralism, and democracy. He was a popular leader and a social reformer who fought for the rights of the oppressed sections of the society, irrespective of caste, creed or religion and strived for the sustainance of secular and pluralistic values. He nurtured and strengthened this characteristic and cemented the bonds of love between various sections of the society and different regions of J&K and Ladakh," Former Minister said. "The vision of Sher-e-Kashmir espoused a reasonable standard of living for all people in the state irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and region. The basic agricultural and economic plan would be abolition of landlordism, land to tiller and people's control over the resources of the state," he noted. "The spirit of secularism and tolerance possessed by Sher-e-Kashmir was the cumulative effect of the environment which generation after generation has fine-tuned the psyche of people of J&K. His political struggle for the restoration of people's rights wasn't exclusive; on the contrary it was inclusive. A mass movement organizer, Sheikh Sahib's struggle was never aimed at alleviating the suffering of particular followers of a faith," He said. "He worked tirelessly, suffered incarcerations throughout for the total redemption of the people in Jammu and Kashmir from abject poverty. He gave a new lease of life to the fear paralyzed people of all the regions of J&K. He also said that we should follow the principles and path of Sher-E-Kashmir. On this day, Let join hands and take pledge to work for strengthening the bonds of unity, integrity, brotherhood, peace, progress, and prosperity of the people of J&K, besides protecting the values of secularism, socialism in order to maintain communal harmony and uphold the democratic, constitutional and legitimate rights. |
