Kulgam, Sept 15: Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami on Sunday said the party will continue working towards the better development of the district. He said this effort aligns with the legacy of the teachings of Syed Simnani (RA) and promised to uphold that legacy.
Addressing a public gathering at the Laroo bus stand, Tarigami said, that before joining the assembly, his long-standing aim was to witness the flourishing of Kulgam. “I consider it a success that the region has developed into a district with hospitals, roads, colleges and parks. I also see a promising future for the youth,” he said.
The CPI(M) leader added, “Today, from the sacred place of Hazrat Simnaan (RA), we send a message to the ruling leaders: we want to live in prosperity, free from jails and oppression. Syed Simnaan (RA) imparted teachings of brotherhood, love and respect to Kashmir. He also introduced the handicrafts that are now famous worldwide. Syed Simnaan’s message was to ensure people live better lives, advocating for the establishment of schools and educational institutions, not their destruction.”
Tarigami said his mission, until his last breath, will be to protect the legacy of Syed Simnaan. He pledged to uphold the historical significance of the district and to continue advocating for a better life for its people.
“People should not forget the time when they were afraid to vote and when they had to hide their inked fingers. That time should not be forgotten so easily,” he said.
The Communist leader said the people entrusted him with the responsibility to make Kulgam a model for the rest of Kashmir. “I promise to continue working for the region’s development and, with the support of the people, to move forward towards progress,” he said.
