State Congress President Prof Saifuddin Soz Wednesday met Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in New Delhi.
“Many subjects of mutual interest came up for discussion. The socio-political situation in J&K was discussed. Among the matters, the Prime Ministers’ proposed visit to Kashmir on June 25 and 26 was also discussed,” a statement from Congress reads.
“The Prime Minister also agreed to release a commemorative stamp on Shair-i- Kashmir late Gulam Ahmad Mehjoor. The proposal for this commemorative stamp was initially mooted by the Mehjoor Foundation. Later, when I raised this issue in the Rajya Sabha as a special mention on November 21, 2011, the government of India responded positively and agreed to release a Commemorative Stamp on Mehjoor.
It is a very happy occasion that the people of J&K will have an auspicious occasion to remember Shair Kashmir Gulam Ahmad Mehjoor, who was accepted very widely as harbinger of message of harmony and togetherness of mankind. I also met Kapil Sibbal Minister of Communication in this connection, he will also be present on this occasion,” it added.
