Sheikh Abdul Aziz (1952-2008) 
Chairman Jammu Kashmir People’s League
By Murtaza Shibli
One of the prominent leaders of the Kashmiri resistance movement, 55 year old Sheikh Abdul Aziz was killed by the bullets of Indian paramilitary forces on 11th August 2008 while leading a peaceful public demonstration against the ‘economic blockade’ of the Kashmiri Muslims being enforced by militant Indian Hindu groups allegedly with the tacit support of the Indian government. He was born in 1952 in Namblabal, Pampore close to the capital city Srinagar but in Pulwama district. Soon after passing his 10th grade from a local school, Aziz joined his father’s agriculture business including growing high yield saffron, for which Pampore Township is famous throughout the Kashmir valley.
