In his message, NC President, while paying glowing tributes to Sheikh Nazir, termed him a conscientious and honest politician. “Nazir Sahib was brought in the mould of Sher-e-Kashmir life and struggle. Uncompromising on his principles and beliefs, which he had inherited from Sher-e-Kashmir, he was a strong spirited person. His matchless contribution towards strengthening the party will be remembered for all the times to come. A statesman to the core, he stood for his principles until his last breath.

The best tribute to him on his death anniversary would be by imbibing the zest with which he served the party. His doors were always open for the party workers. He was a “to-go-to” person for party workers; he was always concerned about the party’s grassroots level workers. Moreover, he belonged to the tribe of those great men and women who suffered immensely alongside Sher-e-Kashmir for the restoration of the rights of people of Jammu and Kashmir. On his death anniversary, I pay my earnest tributes to him. May Almighty grant him the highest stations in Jannah,” he said.
