Sopore: Aijaz Guru files nomination papers

Afzal Guru’s wife distances from decision

Srinagar, Sep 12 (KNO): Aijaz Ahmed Guru, brother of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru, on Thursday filed his nomination for the upcoming assembly elections from the Sopore assembly constituency.

However, the move has not been welcomed by the family of Afzal Guru.

In a statement, Tabasum Guru, wife of the late Mohammad Afzal Guru, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), clarified that Aijaz’s decision to contest the elections is entirely personal and has no connection to the Guru family or her late husband.

“The decision to fight assembly elections of Aijaz Ahmad Guru is personal and has nothing to do with Shaheed Afzal or the whole Guru family. It pains me and the whole family when photographs of my husband and Aijaz are aired simultaneously,” Tabasum Guru stated, while requesting the media to refrain from linking her husband’s image to Aijaz’s political actions.

Tabasum further revealed that her husband, Afzal Guru, had instructed her in 2005 to cut ties with Aijaz. “Hence, all his actions are completely personal,” she said.

She also made it clear that she would not speak or respond to any media inquiries in the future, as the situation caused her and the family great distress.

It’s worth mentioning that Aijaz earlier told KNO that he will contest elections to fight for those who have been arrested in fabricated cases by the police, including his son Shoiab.

He also aimed to address local issues, including employment, infrastructure development and youth rehabilitation. “I will prioritize Sopore, which has been neglected since long”, Aijaz had said—(KNO)
