“My world collapsed after losing my parents within a week, want to fulfill their dreams”: Insha Lone

Pulwama: Insha Lone, who lost her both parents within a week when she was preparing for Class 12th examinations has come out in flying colours by scoring a distinction, two months after her militant father Zaheer Ahmad Lone was killed.

Insha’s mother Ruby Jan passed away due to cardiac arrest after she could not bear her husband’s separation and died before she could reach hospital.

“My world collapsed within a week. Papa was killed on one Friday and mummy passed away on next and I was in the midst of writing papers,” Insha said adding “She was preparing for her Physics examination when her father’s audio in which he had announced signing up for militancy was in circulation on social media.”

“I could have done better but i was not able to concentrate on my studies as i was going under a lot of mental strain. I am happy and I thank Allah for this too,” she added.

Insha further said that she used to sneak into her neighbours house to study and used to collect study notes from friends and seniors. She locked herself up in a room and studied hard.

“My parents kept appearing before me all the time in dreams and loneliness,” she said adding “I had set a target to score 96 per cent but could manage 85 only. Had I not lost my beloved parents, I could have achieved the target.”

Insha said, “My dad wanted me to study humanities but my mother wanted me to become a doctor. I want to fulfill her dreams.” (Agency)
