Mehboob Beg, senior PDP leader and son of Mirza Afzal Beg paid rich tributes to him on his anniversary.
In a statement, Mehboob said that Beg’s anniversary will beobserved at their ancestral graveyard at Sarnal Anantnag on Tuesday.
“He rose from the ground with what political commentatorscall ‘sheer genius’. Having contributed on numerous fronts, Beg’s ‘crowningglory’ was pioneering the famous ‘land reforms’. Beg was a big votary of’financial upliftment’ of the masses and managed to do so with a single strokeof a pen, after having put his political as well as legal brain behind it.Historians and social scientists believe that the famous ‘land to the tiller’reforms did what no ‘reservation, quota system’ could ever do, it providedthose who had only faced exploitation with means to build their lives and thatof their families,” Beg said.
