Abdul Ghani Lone

Abdul Ghani Lone

Abdul Ghani Lone was an Indian lawyer and politician who for most of his professional career worked as a Kashmiri separatist. He was assassinated on May 21 2002 while commemorating the twelfth anniversary of the Kashmiri leader, Mirwaiz Maulvi Farooq.

Abdul Ghani Lone received a law degree from Aligarh University in 1957. He made his first entry into politics serving in the state assembly as a Congress candidate in 1967. In 1978 he formed a Kashmir separatist organization called the People's Conference dedicated to "the restoration of 'internal autonomy' in Kashmir."

On the day after his assasination, his son Sajjad Lone blamed both, the government of Indian administrated Kashmir and Pakistan, for the assassination of his father. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/2002410.stm Thousands mourn Kashmiri separatist] ]
