Hurriyat, JKPC pay tributes to assassinated leaders Molvi Farooq, Lone on their death anniversaries

The Hurriyat and the J&K Peoples Conference (JKPC) on May 21 commemorated the death anniversaries of their party leaders, Mirwaiz Molvi Farooq and Abdul Ghani Lone, who were assassinated in two separate incidents on May 21 in 1990 and 2002 respectively.

A spokesman of the Hurriyat, headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, said that Molvi Farooq believed that inclusiveness and dialogue were the best way to address concerns and resolve conflicts. “But tragically, at the young age of 45, the great visionary leader’s life was abruptly and brutally ended and lost to intolerance and intrigue,” the Hurriyat spokesman said.
