I know very litter about the illustrious husband of sister Perveen Shere and I am in a deep shock on his sudden departure. Had been thinking to call Perveen behan to convey my heartfelt condolences, yet it is too hard and difficult to call her at this point when her grief is so fresh. I and my family pray that God in His infinite mercy give the bereaved family courage to endure this loss and shower peace on the departed soul and raise his status in Paradise. Aameen! Sharing the grief, M. Owais Jafrey & Family.
