TREHGAM, FEB 10: Only after five minutes drive from a famous spring here, a visitor catches the glimpse of a three storeyed wooden and shabby house. In this house JKLF founder Mohammad Maqbool Butt was born. Maqbool was hanged in Tihar jail on February 11, 1984. Now the house is head office of Maqbool Butt Foundation.
The house was constructed in 1946. After entering the house, two boys greet the visitors - Zahid, a 12th standard and Adil, studing in class 9th. Both boys are from Ghulam Nabi Butt family. Ghulam Nabi died in mid nineties. Maqbool's step mother Shah Begum also lives with Ghulam Nabi's family.
