It would create opportunities of growth for people as peace and fairness prevails. This would not only benefit people of JK but people of the entire subcontinent.But tragically on this fateful day at the young age of 45 , this great visionary’s life was abruptly and brutally ended , lost to intolerance and intrigue , depriving the people of J&K forever of his inspiring guidance and dynamic leadership in the most trying of times for them.
Paying tributes Shaheed Abdul Ghani Lone APHC said he was again a far sighted and fearless leader who sacrificed his life for his belief in a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue.
