SRINAGAR — Sajad Gani Lone, People’s Conference Chairman today said his father Abdul Gani Lone was killed for saying what he believed in.
Sajad Lone in a series of tweets said, “Every year as 21st May approaches I start trembling. Those painful moments/memories— of a family receiving the Bullet ridden body of their loved one. Those moments of helplessness follow you all your life”.
“Every time a person is killed in our valley, I can visualise what must be happening at his or her home. The teary eyed wails of the loved ones, the anguish—- it is all so same,” he added.
The People’s Conference chief said, “My father was killed for saying what he believed in. Those who killed him were terrorists and will Inshallah rot in hell. As will all those terrorists who kill unarmed innocent civilians.”
“For my father and for all those who have laid down their lives in this conflict All I pray for is peace. May no bullet ridden dead bodies be delivered to families. May this madness end. May sanity prevail,” Sajad said while remembering his father on his 20th death anniversary.
Former Chief Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir including People’s Democratic Party Chief Mehbooba Mufti and National Conference President Farooq Abdullah also paid rich tributes to the Late Molvi Mohammad Farooq and Abdul Gani Lone on their anniversaries. — (KIMS)
