SRINAGAR: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq on Monday paid rich tributes to his late uncle, the distinguished socio-political activist and senior member of the AAC, “Shaheed-e-Masjid”, Moulvi Mushtaq Ahmad, on his 22nd martyrdom anniversary, describing his contribution and humanitarian service to society and the party as invaluable and unforgettable.
Remembering him, the Mirwaiz, in a post on X, said that Shaheed Moulvi Mushtaq Ahmad was a deeply loved and respected member of the Mirwaiz family, known for his exceptionally kind, compassionate and selfless nature and his deep commitment to public service. He said that his dedication to helping the poor and needy and serving the people made him an invaluable asset to society and the party, adding that his loss continues to be keenly felt even today.
“Moulvi Mushtaq Ahmad was a strong advocate of conciliation, peace and dialogue and would reach out even to those with whom he ideologically disagreed for the greater good of society and the benefit of the people. It was for this advocacy of reconciliation and dialogue that he ultimately paid with his life when he fell to the bullets of assassins while offering namaz in a mosque,” he said.
A special Duaiya Majlis was held at the Head Office of Anjuman Nusrat-ul-Islam, where members of the Anjuman and people from different walks of life gathered to remember the life and contributions of Moulvi Mushtaq Ahmad. Fateha was offered and special prayers were made for the elevation of his ranks in Jannat-ul-Firdous.
