KARACHI: Ghulam Muhammad Safi, the Convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter, reiterated Kashmiris’ steadfast resolve to continue their struggle for freedom at all costs, emphasizing that sacrifices made will not be in vain.
Addressing a press conference at Karachi Press Club alongside other Hurriyat leaders, Ghulam Muhammad Safi underscored the significance of the martyrdom anniversary of Burhan Muzaffar Wani, hailing him as an enduring symbol of inspiration for the Kashmiri people.

“Burhan Wani’s sacrifice continues to illuminate the path of freedom for Kashmiris. It serves as a torch that ignites the spirit of resistance and determination among our people,” Safi stated. He maintained that Kashmiris remain resolute in their struggle for the UN-recognized right to self-determination.
Safi further asserted that despite the challenges and hardships faced, Kashmiris are undeterred and will persevere until achieving their goal of freedom from Indian occupation.
APHC-General Secretary Advocate Parvaiz Ahmed, Raja Shaheen, Imtiaz Wani, and other prominent leaders were also present during the press conference. They reaffirmed their commitment to the Kashmir cause and honour the memory of Burhan Wani as a heroic figure who symbolizes the aspirations of Kashmiri youth.
Meanwhile, ahead of Burhan Wani’s 8th martyrdom anniversary, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas issued a statement in Srinagar, praising Wani’s courage and resilience in the face of adversity. He highlighted that Wani’s legacy continues to inspire the younger generation of Kashmiris in their relentless pursuit of freedom.
Minhas emphasized that the sacrifices made by Wani and countless other martyrs in the struggle against Indian occupation will serve as a driving force for future generations. He called upon the international community to recognize the plight of Kashmiris and support their legitimate aspirations for self-determination.
The commemoration of Burhan Wani’s martyrdom anniversary holds deep significance for Kashmiris, serving as an emotional reminder of their ongoing struggle against oppression and injustice.
