Srinagar, Mar 2:(KNS) The Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee (AAC) has expressed deep sorrow over the demise of Khawaja Muhammad Maqbool Mir, resident of Mohalla Ashraf Khan Kathi Darwaza, Srinagar.

In its condolence statement, the AAC termed Muhammad Maqbool Mir's long political career under the leadership of the Shaheed-e-Millat and his sincere efforts towards the organisation as highly valued and an example for the present day party workers.
