Shillong, October 28: Voice of the People’s Party (VPP) president Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit has expressed deep sorrow over the sudden demise of Rev. Fr. John Madur, describing his passing as a profound loss to the Church, the Christian community and society at large.
Recalling their longstanding association, Basaiawmoit said one of his most memorable encounters with the priest was on December 31, 1999, when he was president of the Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP). They attended a programme organised by the FKJGP at the YMCA, Mawkhar, Shillong, to welcome the new millennium under the theme “Ka Hok Sha Ka Hajar Snem Bathymmai.”
Basaiawmoit said he would remember the priest with deep respect and gratitude for their friendship and conversations over the years.
On behalf of himself and the VPP party, he extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, the Church and all those mourning the loss, praying that God would grant them strength and comfort and that the departed soul rest in eternal peace.
