Altaf Bukhari, the president of Jammu Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) denounced the curbs imposed at Mazar e Shouhda on Monday as ‘highly regrettable.’
According to a press release, Altaf Bukhari said that the martyrs’ graveyard in old Srinagar city symbolizes the legacy of those brave hearts and sons of the soil who sacrificed their lives to lay edifice for democracy and natural justice in Jammu Kashmir.
He said that 13 July, 1931 is a historic day for the people of Jammu and Kashmir as the day marks the beginning of a struggle against suppression and inequality and its relevance will remain the same for times to come.
JKAP also pledges to strive for implementation of those principles in letter and spirit, he said.
