\u201cI had met Late Itoo Sahib, though I never had the opportunity to work with him,\u201d the Chief Minister said. \u201cHis personality, his way of working and his relationship with the people are evident from the love and respect seen in this hall today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister recalled how Late Itoo remained steadfast to his principles and his party despite the turbulent times of militancy. \u201cMany of our colleagues had to move to Jammu during those years, but even there, Itoo Sahib never sat idle.

\u201cA brave father gave a brave daughter to this community. If Itoo Sahib were alive today, he would be proud of Sakina ji. In Noorabad, Kulgam, and across Jammu and Kashmir, her service and commitment stand as a living tribute to her father\u2019s ideals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lauding Minister Sakina Itoo\u2019s literary accomplishment, Omar Abdullah said, \u201cI always knew Sakina Ji as a capable MLA and an able minister, but today I discovered another dimension to her \u2014 that of a writer. Through this book, she has ensured that future generations know about the life and mission of a leader who dedicated himself to his people and his land.\u201d<\/p>\n
