Abdul Rashid Qureshi Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan and Chairman Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation, Pakistan urged the Pakistan government to name the Shadman Chowk after Bhagat Singh as a tribute to the great freedom fighter. He is hopeful of his dreams when Lahore High Court has directed the Mayor to take a decision as per the law.
Added here, Qureshi – who himself declares the follower of Bhagat Singh, while in Pakistan and looking after the interest as an Advocate – is fighting for this cause in the Supreme Court and to prove the innocence of Bhagat Singh having no mention of his name in the FIR.
Qureshi is in contact with the family members of Bhagat Singh and normally visits India every year but this time, the visa has been held up without any reason. In 2016, he has celebrated the birthday of Shaheed Sukhdev – an associate of Bhagat Singh and Rajguru – with his family members Ashok Thapar.
Some narrow-minded people have threatened him with dire consequences but I will continue to fight for Bhagat Singh and will not back out. I have the full support of my family and my father –Abdul Rashid Qureshi – who was born in Abohar in Punjab of India – is taking care of all my cases being a senior advocate in the Supreme Court in Pakistan, said Imtiaz Qureshi over the phone.
Qureshi said, Bhagat Singh, is an icon for the youth as he taught the youth to fight for what was right without fear and to never give up. He also shared the famous quote of Bhagat Singh – They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.
