ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), Shabbir Ahmad Shah has adopted
Insha Mushtaq, the 14-year-old girl from Shopian district who
completely lost her eyesight after her both eyes were badly
damaged by pellets fired by Indian forces during the ongoing
uprising.
Shabbir Ahmad Shah in a statement issued in Srinagar said
that he had adopted Insha and would take care of her till his last
breath, Kashmir Media Service (KMS) reported.
Pertinently, Shabbir Ahmad Shah on Friday announced to
donate his eyes after his death to those whose eyesight was
snatched by the PDP’s `vision’.
Announcing the decision, Shabbir Shah said, “I will raise up
Insha like my own daughters. From now, she is my third daughter.”
As such, a party delegation visited the residence of Insha
Mushtaq and apprised the family of Shabbir Ahmad Shah’s decision.
“It has been a deep desire of Shabbir Ahmad Shah that a
mission be started to help such victims to return to normal life
and fulfill the dreams they had in their lives,” the delegation
told the family.
Shabbir Shah said, “We cannot turn our eyes away from the
sad plight of such victims and as humans we must try our best to
help them in any possible way. Today, I reiterate that I’m proud
of the conscious people of Kashmir and hope they will fulfill
their moral responsibilities towards the victims of the ongoing
Intifada.”
He said the well-to-do people of the society should take a
lead in this regard and take overall responsibility of some pellet
victim so that they don’t need to knock at the doors of the anti-
people regime.
“These children have had some dreams and we must help them
realise those dreams. Those who can adopt any victim for life
should not wait. God will reward them for such deed, Insha Allah.
This is a beautiful form of worshipping,” he added.
Meanwhile, a party spokesman paid tributes to Shaheed Rayees
Ahmad Dar of Kakapora, Pulwama, and expressed solidarity with the
bereaved family.
