His daughter Lala Rukh, who was an artist and women’s right activist, led a life in community service. She was a founding member of WAF and taught at the NCA for over 40 years, where she founded the college’s master’s programme.

This family has been the owner of a house in the Gulberg neighbourhood of Lahore since 1953. It has been 22 years that the family is trying to resolve a dispute over the property. Land grabbers are continuously filing FIRs against the family members. The Punjab police and other relevant authorities have failed to help despite continuous appeals over the years.
