Srinagar Jan 06 (KNS): PDP ex-state secretary youth and constituency in-charge Habba Kadal Arif Laigaroo has paid rich tributes to party founder and J&K Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed on his death anniversary.
Laigaroo described Mufti Sayeed as a visionary political leader with a commitment to transform J&K into a developed and prosperous State.
He recalled the unyielding attitude of the latter to take on varied challenges in his entire political career and his dedication towards ameliorating the lot of weaker sections of the society.
The PDP leader further said that Mufti sahib was passionate about politics as a tool of reform and relentlessly strived for the development of all the regions of J&K. “Mufti sahib was a self-respecting, seasoned and thinking politician.
Irrespective of the differing political spaces that we occupy, he rose above party politics and was extremely respectful in his dealings with us. His untimely death has left a huge void in the politics of J&K”, he added.
Party workers and leaders, he said, have faced the worst over the last few years due to a constant plot to weaken the party across Jammu and Kashmir.
Laigaroo said the battle of resistance aimed at the restoration of constitutional and legal rights of Jammu and Kashmir residents was tough, but “nothing was impossible if we have the determination and will”.
The PDP leader added that the political life of Mufti Muhammad Sayeed is a guiding force for the PDP cadre where service before self was the main principle.(KNS)
