Srinagar: Daughter of late Moulvi Noor-u-din Shah and aunt of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq passed away in Islamabad, Pakistan on 15th of Ramazan, according to a statement issued by Awami Action Committee (AAC) on Monday.
The deceased was the wife of Late Muhammad Afzal Shawl.
Moulvi Noor u Din shah who was a senior leader of the Muslim Conference and was serving a prison sentence at the time of partition in1947 for his political ideology, was straight away deported by the authorities from jail to Pakistan Administered Kashmir along with his wife and his little children and like Muhajir -e -Millat Mirwaiz Maulana Yousuf Shah who had also been exiled to PAK, declared an enemy agent by the Indian and state government, the statement said.
AAC said that it is the tragedy of Kashmir that an artificial line was drawn through our land and thousands of families including the family of Mirwaizeen were divided and made to suffer, not even allowed to meet each other, even in times of grief.
AAC said that it is unfortunate that Mirwaiz Umar Farooq cannot visit his family and share their grief in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan as his passport stands impounded.
