Soulful Sofi is immortal: Dr. Haseeb A Drabu
J&K Bank Chairman, Dr. Haseeb A Drabu, mourning the death of Ghulam Hassan Sofi, expressed his condolences to the fans and family of the deceased.
"It is a collective loss for the people of Kashmir and nobody can quite fill the void created by his demise. Ghulam Hassan Sofi was not just a great singer but an institution in himself. He didn't merely sing songs, he vocalised the cultural philosophy of the Kashmir Valley. Not only was his style but his sensibilities too were deeply Kashmiri. May Allah grant him the same peace and solace that he gave to millions of Kashmiris by his soulful singing", he said.
