Srinagar: Jammu & Kashmir Awami Action Committee (AAC), on behalf of the organisation and its incarcerated Chairman Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq who continues to be under house arrest since 5 August 2019, has expressed grief over the demise of the former president of Jamiat Ahle Hadith Jammu & Kashmir Moulana Ghulam Rasool Malik, and the mother of Javed Ahmed Kawa of Alamgari Bazar Srinagar, who has a deep connection with the organisation, and with Mirwaiz family.
“The deceased’s two young sons were martyred in the funeral procession of Hazrat Shaheed-e-Millat Mirwaiz Moulana Muhammad Farooq (RA) on 21 May 1990,” the AAC said in a statement. It expressed deep sorrow over the demise of another enthusiastic and active worker of the organisation, Ghulam Mohamad Sofi, son of lt. Ghulam Qadir Sofi, a resident of Budhgir Kawdara, Srinagar.
The AAC paid rich tribute to the former president of Jamiat Ahle Hadith for his religious and dawah contribution and his efforts of forging unity among the Millat-e-Kashmir. It paid homage to the late mother of Javed Ahmed Kawa and hailed Ghulam Ahmed Sufi for his selfless sacrifices towards the organisation.
The Awami Action Committee expressed its condolences, sympathy and solidarity with the families of all the deceased persons, especially the leaders of Jamiat Ahle Hadith, the Malik family, the Kawa family and the Sufi family; and prayed for Jannat-ul-Firdous to all the departed souls.
