On the occasion various speakers shed light an the sacrificed himself to save the lives of Kashmiris and to resist invasion on Indian soil.
After entering Jammu and Kashmir loaded like cattle in lorries and trucks, tall and shabby tribesmen entirely plundered the beautiful city of Baramulla on October 26. The attack was so lethal that only 3,000 citizens of Baramulla out of a total population of 14,000 were said to have survived–a fact that Akbar Khan, a Pakistani commander and main perpetrator of the attack, has himself agreed to in his book ‘Raiders in Kashmir’.
While saving his multicultural city, Maqbool Sherwani rode on his motorcycle and found the raiders plundering the city. He held public meetings in villages on his motorcycle to unify them and collectively take on the raiders. Seeing a local citizen on the deserted road, the raiders asked him for the route to Srinagar airport.
Various cultural programs were also held in remembrance of the maqbool sherwani.
