  1. Bech Wali Baig (Behishti) was a very noble and quite personality. His cool character was an iconic figure of Shimshal valley.

    His contributions to the civil society of Shimshal will be remembered not only by Shimshalies but the whole Gojalies.

    I extend my deepest condolences to his sons Farman, Abduallah Bai, Doulat Wali Baig and his daughters, other family members, relatives and his friends.

    May his soul be blessed in peace in the heavens.

  20. There are very few people who switch the mind of retrogressive and conventionalists. Wali Baig was one of them who were accepting the changes. His culture, social and political contribution for the people of his area was only one of its kinds. His death is a loss for the area. He left good brains behind his legacy rather a big property. He is at peace now. I express condolence deep inside from my heart to his all family members.

  21. May Allah Almighty rest the departed soul in peace and grant all members the strength and courage to bear this loss. My sincere and heartfelt condolence goes to Farman Ali, Abdullah Bai and Dawlat.

  22. A very sad news. I did not know about the sad news at the very right time in Islamabad and could only manage to meet some of the the family members in Islamabad after the partial funeral and the dead body left for Gilgit. I knew late brother Wali Baig for the past 30 plus years and he was a true volunteer for any community action. Always supported education and cultural interventions and demonstrated that from his home.

    My family and I offer our condolences to our sister, Farman Ali, Bai, Doulat;Baig and pray that his soul may rest in eternal peace.

  23. Dear Farman Bhai, Dawlat Bhai and other family members of Late Uncle,

    We together with your families were saddened to hear the sudden death of your father. May the Almighty Allah bless his soul in eternal peace & forgiveness for any intentional or unintentional sins in life. May He give you and your family the courage to overcome this heavy loss.

  24. May his soul rest in peace.

    All his life, if i gather correctly, he remained a figure of resistance against all odds in that microcosm of distant Shimshal valley.
