In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, has paid rich tributes to the prominent Hurriyat leader, Sheikh Abdul Aziz, on his 10th martyrdom anniversary, on Saturday (August 11).

Syed Ali Gilani in a statement in Srinagar said that Sheikh Abdul Aziz was a veteran leader who had dedicated his life for the Kashmir cause.

Sheikh Abdul Aziz was shot dead by the Indian troops on this day in 2008 while he was leading a procession from Srinagar to the Line of Control against the economic blockade of the Kashmir Valley by Hindu extremists of Jammu.
