A prominent Kashmiri leader Syed Yasin Andrabi, 85, passed away in Islamabad on Friday. He was the son-in-law of the former President of All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference AJKMC and senior minister Pir Ziad Din Andrabi. The deceased arrived in Pakistan from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir IIOJK when he was a 13-year-old boy who wanted to see Pakistan. He studied in Lahore and joined the Public Health department in Azad Jammu and Kashmir AJK. Andrabi played a pivotal role in the promotion of the Kashmir cause in the Arab world and America. He worked for the United Nations UN in the public health sector in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and later shifted to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s KSA’s Health Ministry where he served in various capacities for more than three decades. The deceased left one son and three daughters behind who are settled in Canada and the United States of America. He was buried in family Murree graveyard on Friday.
