Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, popularly known as Sher-e- Kashmir, was NC president Farooq Abdullah's father and the grandfather of the party's working president Omar Abdullah.
In a brief programme, they paid their tributes to the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister at his mausoleum at Naseembagh on the Dal Lake's bank here.
NC leaders offered 'fateha' (a special prayer) at the grave of the party's founder.
Sher-e-Kashmir's struggles and sacrifices for the dignity of Jammu and Kashmir and its people need to be emulated to take the state out of the throes of "divisive politics and sinister plans of political disempowerment", Farooq Abdullah said in a statement yesterday.
