Yudhvir Sethi, while paying tributes to Ashfaq Ullah Khan highlighted his role in freedom struggle. He said that unexpected firings, death of civilians and then calling off the non-cooperation action gave birth to restlessness in Khan’s mind and thus his dwindling faith in non-violent strategies, led to his affiliation with the revolutionary group, Hindustan Republican Association (HRA), led by Ram Prasad Bismil. He remembered the famous “Kakori” incident that gave Goose bumps to imperial Government. He said that Ashfaqullah Khan was a great Urdu poet who always gave birth to patriotism in the hearts of youth.
