Once again, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to convey my condolences to Shri Rajesh Pilot’s widow Smt. Rama Pilot and to his children and all other members of his family.

Sir, Begum Akbar Jahan Abdullah had been a most prominent Member of this House. We have with us today here her grandson representing the National Conference which was founded by Sheikh Abdullah. Three generations of Sheikh Sahib’s family, certainly this Parliament, enriched its discourse. Begum Akbar Jahan Abdullah fought relentlessly for the social upliftment of her people and for their rights. She is remembered, above all, for her humanitarian outlook, for her compassion and for her vision. With her passing away an era has ended. On behalf of the Congress Party and on my own behalf I would like to convey my deep-felt condolences to Dr. Farooq Abdullah, to his family and to the people of Jammu & Kashmir.
