He said that despite serious efforts by the Jammu and Kashmir government, under the direct supervision of Omar Abdullah, to airlift the ailing woman from Makkah for advanced medical treatment, she succumbed to her illness in the hospital on Sunday morning.
Baqal expressed deep gratitude on behalf of the family and the wider community to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his unconditional support and personal monitoring of the proposed airlift operation. He said that every possible step was taken, but fate had other plans.
“Death keeps no calendar,” he said, while expressing sorrow over the loss.
It is worth mentioning that Dr Rouf Jeelani had earlier made an emotional video appeal on social media, seeking urgent administrative help for the airlift of his wife. Sadly, despite all efforts, her life could not be saved.
May Allah forgive her shortcomings and grant her the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous. Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
