Shahid Azmi will be to take up his cause – to strive against injustice and to fight for rights of underprivileged”, said Public Interest and Human Rights Lawyer, Advocate Prashant Bhusan in a memorial meeting organized by Jamia Teachers’ Solidarity Association (JTSA) here today at Jamia Millia Islamia.
Dr. S Q R Ilyas, editor Afkar-e-Milli, Urdu Monthly, who was in touch with Azmi since his teenage said, “It seems, we are living in a police state as whosoever is trying to expose the injustices, are either implicated in false cases or killed in cold blooded murders”. Voicing his concern, he said “What is most unfortunate is that, all the pillars of democracy are mum”. Speaking at the occasion, Journalist Abu Zafar Adil Azmi recalled, “he was a people’s lawyer in real sense and void created by his cold blooded murder is really unbearable”.
The meeting was attended by a huge number of students, teachers and human rights’ activists and took pledge to carry out the cause of Adv. Shahid Azmi. Mumbai based Criminal Lawyer, Adv. Shahid Azmi was murdered in cold blood on February 11, 2010 night at his office.
