A last letter by the hanged Afzal Guru to his wife
Tabassum seems a poised and proud of being his stature, and Afzal Guru asks his
family not grieve at his end. Extolling the virtues of “Righteousness and truth,
asks his family members and the believers too, congratulates for being chosen, and
from this last letter easily to infer
what he ought have perceived the death by hanging as high level or respect as
an impressive achievement. This short note is derived from his letter posted in daily news. The wonder is, in what way India can be proud of conspiracy of Afzal Guru?
Afzal Guru's last letter
In a
ten-line last letter written by Afzal Guru ahead of his hanging in Tihar, he
has thanked Almighty "that he was chosen for this stature" and
requested his family that "instead of grieving they should respect the
stature he has achieved over his end".
Written
in Urdu, the letter was written at "6.25 in the morning,09-02-2013"
and has no personal message to his family but revolves around a larger message
of "truth and righteousness". This letter begins with Bismillah hi
rehman ni raheem (I start with the name of Allah).
"Respected
family and all the believers. Assalam u alikum (Peace be upon you). Hundred
thousand gratitudes to Allah that Allah has chosen me for this stature. My
Congratulations to all the believers too. For we all stood with truth and
righteousness and our end must also come on the path of truth and
righteousness. My request to my family is that instead of grieving over my end,
they should respect the stature that I have achieved. Allah is your greatest
protector and greatest help. Allah Hafiz (I leave you in the protection of
Allah),'' the letter said.
Afzal's
cousin Yasin Guru confirmed the veracity of the letter and said they received
it on February 12, a day after it was dispatched from Tihar. Afzal's last
letter also accompanies a covering letter written by hand by Superintendent of
Central Jail no. 3 at Tihar and addressed to Afzal's wife Tabassum. "This
is in continuation of our letter…. Dated 6-02-2013, I am enclosing the
confidential letter written by late Shri Afzal Guru to you, kindly acknowledge
receipt,'' the covering letter.
When
asked as to what message this letter carries, Yasin Guru said it is "for
the people of Kashmir to infer its meaning".
While
Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani is under house arrest in New Delhi, his
deputy Mohamamd Ashraf Sehrai told the Indian Express that this letter
"is a treasure for the life of the struggle''. He said Afzal's letter
clearly exhibits "that he didn't feel regretful at the time of going to
gallows but was thankful and satisfied". His message, Sehrai said, to
Kashmir is "to remain steadfast on truth".
