Kashmiris observe first martyrdom anniversary of Syed Ali Geelani 

Muzaffarabad: In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), complete shutdown is being observed and a massive march will be conducted towards Hyderpora in Srinagar, on Thursday to pay homage to the icon of Kashmir resistance movement, Syed Ali Geelani, on his first martyrdom anniversary.     

Syed Ali Geelani embraced martyrdom in the custody of Indian police on this day last year at his Hyderpora residence in Srinagar where he was kept under continued house arrest for over a decade.

Call for the shutdown and the march has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference and supported by other organizations.

The APHC maintained that the mission of Syed Ali Geelani will be taken to its logical conclusion at all costs.
