Jaffer Sharief funeral procession is finished without much hype.

The entire Kannada media is busy to show only Ambarish funeral procession continuously from the last three days.

May Allah grant his soul in peace.

Is the Congress President too busy to attend the funeral of one of the doyens of Congress? Not politicising it. People who had known him wouldnt appreciate the RaGa's absence whilst he head dashed to TN for funerals with political motives. Or was it that he didnt want to attend the funeral of the person who forced his father into Politics post Sanjay Gandhis demise, where he lost him?
