G.M. Banatwala is no more. Let us pray for his maghfirat

The passing away of Mr. G.M. Banatwala, a seven-time MP to the Lok Sabha, on 25.6.2008 is a great loss to the community and country. He was an orator in both Urdu and English and kept his audience spell bound. He was a good Muslim. He gave importance to democratic and secular values as per his faith. He never shirked his responsibility in working for the benefit of the people particularly the backward communities.

Mr. Banatwala always said that we should be well educated as Prophet Mohammed (sal-am) gave preference to education and made seeking education compulsory for both men and women. Uplifting the Muslim community in economic and educational fields was his aim. We have lost a great leader of his calibre. May his soul rest in peace.
