Srinagar, Mar 13 (KNS): Anjuman Nusrat-ul-Islam Srinagar has expressed deep sorrow and shock over the demise of Hafiz Muhammad Ishaq Sahib, eputy Head of Jamia Isha'at-ul-Uloom Akkalkuwa, Maharashtra.

Anjuman on behalf of the institution and its incarcerated Chairman Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq has expressed heartfelt condolence with the bereaved family especially Moulana Ghulam Muhammad Vastanvi and paid rich tributes to Hafiz Muhammad Ishaaq Sahib.
