He eulogized the sacrifices of martyr Andrabi and reiterated to continue his mission till freedom of Jammu and Kashmir from tyrannical clutches of India.
The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik in his address said that Jalil Andrabi was among the pioneers of Kashmir freedom struggle, and his sacrifices like thousands of other Kashmiri martyrs would not be allowed to go waste. Yasin Malik said that India was using its National Investigation Agency to tighten noose around the resistance leaders, but people of Kashmir would not surrender to Indian brutalities against all odds.
