Najmuddin Khan, renowned freedom activist and nephew of martyred Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir Chairman, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, passed away after a brief illness in Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir.
Najmuddin was forced to migrate to Azad Kashmir after he was repeatedly harassed by the Indian authorities in early 1990’s.
Sehrai’s another nephew Abdul Qayoom Khan was martyred by the Indian occupation forces during the same period.
