Srinagar, June 22:(KNS) Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee (AAC) expressed deep grief and sorrow over the demise of its senior leader of Naid Kadal constituency and zonal president of the organisation, Mohammad Syed Dedmaree , who passed away today after a brief spell of illness 

Recalling the organisational activities of the deceased especially in Srinagar City, the AAC in a statement said that the late Dedmaree joined the organisation in 1964 when Shaheed-e-Millat laid its foundation; and after the martyrdom of Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq, he continued to play his full role in carrying forward the programmes of the AAC and the movement with zeal and vigour under the leadership of the present head of the organisation, Mirwaiz Dr Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq.

AAC termed the demise as a great loss which has created a void in the organisational ranks and said that the late Mohammad Syed was an enthusiastic and active political activist who fulfilled his responsibilities by standing with the party and leadership in every difficult hour facing the organisation.

Late Dedmaree also had a strong devotion and love for the Mirwaiz Family.

 AAC leadership especially its incarcerated Chairman Mirwaiz Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq, who has been under house detention for the last two years, paid tributes to late Mohammad Syed for his selfless services and expressed heartfelt condolences and sympathy with the bereaved family especially his son Muzaffar Ahmad Deedmaree. Mirwaiz prayed for highest standards in Jannah for late Dedmaree. 

Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir could not attend the funeral prayers of the deceased due to his continued detention however central officials of the organisation in Srinagar, presidents of several constituencies and party workers attended the funeral prayers held at Jama Masjid Srinagar (KNS)
