Bakshi hoisted tri-colour for first time in 1953



Bakshi hoisted tri-colour for first time in 1953




Srinagar, Aug 14: It was in 1953 when for the first time, tri-colour was hoisted in Kashmir Valley by then Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Bakshi Ghulam Muhammad. This was disclosed by Ghulam Mohiudin Sofi, former political secretary of late Moulana Muhammad Sayeed Masoodi. Masoodi was the first Member Parliament from Kashmir. Sofi, who was trusted lieutenant of Masoodi told Greater Kashmir on Tuesday that prior to 1953 late Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah used to hoist state flag on August 15. “First time Bakshi Ghulam Muhammad hoisted the Indian tri-colour at Residency ground, now known as Municipal park,” he said. Sofi said that before 1953 not much importance was given to August 15, but after Bakshi took over, this day turned into an important day. “In 1953 Bakshi hoisted tri-colour and state flag but the state flag was on foot below the tri-colour,” Sofi said. He said Bakshi kept on hoisting two flags on August 15 till he was in power. “The trend of hoisting only tri-colour became a regular feature after Ghulam Muhammad Sadiq took over from Bakshi as Chief Minister of the state,” Sofi said. According to the historians in earlier days, the functions were held only in Srinagar and Jammu.

FREEDOM STRUGGLE

Muslims In China Slaughtered

The slaughtering of Uigurs by Chinese occupation forces and its Han groups has once again reopened the history of occupation and slavery.This time it’s the Muslims of urumchi, The Uigurs.Uigurs as Kashmiri Muslims are a proud race and have a relationship dating back to centuries. As Israel the proxy of America and other western powers in the middle east ,China setteled the han ethnic groups in uigur dominated areas and changed the demography of that place.When Kashmiris opposed to the Land transfer to Hindus last Year they were having the same fears as India is also no angel and its oppression and atrocities on Kashmiris are well known..Lets pray for the Uigurs and the Tibetians .They are facing the same type of oppression and genocide as Kashmiris face.

22 Bloody days of Gaza

Israel should be branded a terrorist state for its 22-day assault on the Gaza Strip, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad told the Arab summit.“Arabs should declare an unequivocal support for the Palestinian resistance ... I call on the Arab summit to officially declare Israel as a terrorist state for the crime it did in Gaza,” Assad said.“Ceasefire does not mean the end of aggression as the invading forces are still in Gaza,” the Syrian leader said, urging “Arab solidarity... for our causes.”The Syrian president stressed that the divisions among Palestinians have made the Israeli aggression easier, which also reflected the Arab division, expressing his hope that Palestinians would overcome their divisions through ending the violence in Gaza, seeking the pullout of Israeli forces, lifting the blockade and opening border crossings. Al-Assad also called on Arab nations to take further steps to promote the Arab economic integration and respond to the global financial crisis, saying integration can ensure less losses and protect Arab economies from future crises. An Arab initiative for peace with Israel is “dead” and Arab countries should end all ties with the Jewish state, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Friday. Speaking at an emergency meeting held for Gaza in Doha, Assad said “all direct and indirect” ties with Israel should be cut in protest at its offensive in Gaza.“I consider the Arab initiative with Israel “dead”, he said. – Agencies
