MUZAFFARABAD,(Parliament Times): Minister of Information, Tourism and Sports Raja Mushtaq Ahmed Minhas has paid a rich tribute to senior Kashmiri journalist Syed Shujjat Bukhari on his second martyrdom anniversary.
In a statement issued here on Monday he said that Dr. Bukhari was a leading voice for peace, justice and rights in Jammu and Kashmir and ever-lasting Indo-Pakistan peace.
