Delegations of different pro-freedom organisations including Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement participated in funeral prayers of the martyred. Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir People’s League Chairman, Mukhtar Ahmed Waza, addressing party workers in Islamabad town paid rich tributes to Muhammad Ayub.
