Mufti’s utmost priority was his people: Laigaroo

Srinagar, Jan 6: PDP leader  and Constituency in-Charge Habba Kadal Arif Laigaroo has paid rich tributes to party founder and former Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed on his death anniversary.

In a statement, Laigaroo described Mufti as a visionary political leader with a commitment to transform J&K into a developed and prosperous state. He recalled the unyielding attitude of the PDP founder to take on varied challenges in his entire political career and his dedication towards ameliorating the lot of weaker sections of the society.

“Mufti sahib was passionate about politics as a tool of reform and relentlessly strived for the development of all the regions of J&K. He was a self-respecting, seasoned and thinking politician. Irrespective of the differing political spaces that we occupy, he rose above party politics and was extremely respectful in his dealings with us. His untimely death has left a huge void in the politics of J&K,” Laigaroo added.
