The programme was moderated by Ramesh Hangloo president Pir Panchal who said Sarwanand Koul was a towering personality a good human being, a journalist and a famous writer and poet of highest stature. It was his love for his motherland Kashmir that he resisted against the forced exodus of Pandits and challenged the prophets of doom who indulged in senseless killings and torture of the innocent people.
