Hyderabad, March 13 (NSS): Advisor to the Telangana Government Mohammed Ali Shabbir has expressed deep condolences at the passing of Congress senior leader Jaber Patel.
“Jaber Patel was more than a politician; he was a dynamic figure in social circles. He led the All India Minorities Forum, working on important issues within the Muslim community. As president of the India Arab Friendship Foundation (IAFF), he worked to strengthen ties with Arab nations. Patel also played a key role in promoting cricket in Saudi Arabia through the Jeddah Cricket Association,” said Shabbir Ali in his condolence message.
Expressing shock and sadness at Patel’s sudden passing, Shabbir Ali mentioned Patel’s annual Dawat-e-Iftar during Ramadan, which drew people from all walks of life. “However, this year, on the first day of Ramadan, he passed away due to a sudden cardiac arrest. It’s still hard to believe he’s gone,” he said.
Shabbir Ali visited Jaber Patel’s residence in Red Hills on Wednesday to offer his sympathies. He also attended the Namaz-e-Janaza at the Royal Mosque in Public Gardens.
He prayed to the Almighty Allah for Jaber Patel’s Maghfirah and for his grant of a high place in the Jannatul Firdous. (NSS)
