SRINAGAR, June 10: Paying tributes to Mirza Mohammad Afzal Beg, former Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, on his 35th death anniversary, Governor N N Vohra today said that Mirza Mohammad Afzal Beg was a notable administrator and parliamentarian. “As Sheikh Sahib’s Revenue Minister, he was the architect of visionary land reforms and the enforcement of pro-tiller policies,” Vohra said.
He said Mirza Beg would perhaps be remembered most for the maturity and farsight with which he conducted the extended parleys, in the mid 1970s, with the representative of the Union, leading to the “Beg-Parthasarthy Accord”, a landmark in J&K – Delhi understandings.
Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti also paid rich tributes to late Mirza Mohammad Afzal Beg on his 35th death anniversary which is being observed Sunday.
In a message, the Chief Minister described late Baig as a seasoned leader who ruled the political canvas of the State for a pretty long time. She said the late leader was equally blessed with unmatched qualities of an astute politician and an innovative administrator which made him a class apart.
