This is a great loss indeed - I have been an avid art lover and had included all famous painters in my site www.pakistanpaedia.com and certainly Guljee was one of the famous ones.
No amount of lamentation can equate the loss or no amount of sorrow words can express the grief and shock we have suffered.
I only hope the culprits are brought to book for they silenced a great man.
May their souls rest in peace. ameen
