A delegation of JKLF leaders led by the front chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik visited the residence of late Grand Mufti-I-Azam of Jammu Kashmir Mufti Bashir ud Din and expressed solidarity with his bereaved family, a JKLF spokesman said.
In his condolence speech, Malik said, “Contributions of the late Grand Mufti Azam in the fields of social work, religion especially in spreading religious harmony are exemplary and he will be remembered for all his qualities for years to come.”
Congratulating Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam, the son of late Grand Mufti, on assuming charges of Mufti-i-Azam Jammu Kashmir, JKLF chairman hoped that Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam will uphold the high traditions of the sacred seat and deliver justice to everyone without any prejudice or any other motive.
He said, “Islamic Shariat is based on truth and justice and the main job of this seat is to define and implement Sharia in its true perspective and spirit.”
He hoped that new Mufti-I-Azam would do justice to his office and remain steadfast while performing his duties. He hailed the new grand Mufti for allocating Rs 20 Lakh from his charity trust to the “victims of forced control, pellets guns, burned and blasted houses and other oppressed.”
