In a statement issued to Kashmir Informer, Hurriyat said that Thakur Sahab had dedicated his whole life for the Islam and Kashmir cause and he has been very loyal to this mission.
The statement further reads, Thakkur have set an example for the intellectual people of Kashmir and have teached us the lesson of loyalty and respect with the mission. Ayoub Sahab was a great scientist and if he had been in Kashmir he would have reached the top most status of the state, but he not only sacrificed these posts, he left his family and country and he used all his talent for the cause.
