Prince Yakub Habeebuddin Tucy, who claims to be the descendant of last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, has said that he wants to travel to Kashmir and heal the wounds of Kashmiris.
Prince Tucy who lives in Hyderabad has appealed to the Indian President Ram Nath Kovind, to send him to Jammu Kashmir as ‘Peace Ambassador’ for healing the wounds of the people that are swollen by the recently released movie ‘Kashmir Files.’
“I am proud of the fact that I belong to the family Bahadur Shah Zafar who was a true nationalist. Since I come from a family of such nationalist spirit, I should go to the Kashmir valley as an ambassador of peace, and pacify the people there,” he was quoted as saying by Mulsim Mirror.
Pertinently, after the abrogation of Article 370, he had made a similar appeal to the President of India.
Prince Tucy lives in Hyderabad and claims to be the DNA-tested descendant of Mughal emperor Babur. He says; “I will convince the people of the Kashmir valley to shun the path of separatism and integrate physically and emotionally with India.” He lamented he has not received any response from the government so far.
Prince Tucy wears royal robes at public events and on important occasions. All his personal documents like date of birth, Adhar card, pan card, Passport, etc. has the prefix “Prince” in his name.
