Former Chief Minister and People’s Democratic Party president, Mehbooba Mufti, along with party leaders, visited the former Secretary of J&K Sports Council and PDP Youth President Waheed ur Rehman Parra’s residence on Friday to offer condolences on his father’s death.
Mehbooba visited Parra’s residence in Naira Pulwama around noon to express her condolences on the demise of Haji Ghulam Ahmad Parra, the father of Waheed ur Rehman Parra.
