Srinagar: Separatist leader Shabir Ahmed Shah’s daughter Sama Shabir has topped in Jammu and Kashmir in the CBSE-2018 results by security 97.8 percent marks and Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti, was among the first to congratulate her. She said Sama was an “inspiration for the youth of the State.”

The Chief Minister wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.com “Congratulations to Sama Shabir Shah for securing 97.8% marks in the class 12th class examination. Her hard work & determination has helped her overcome all odds & she is truly an inspiration for the youth of our state.”

Its Pro-Vice Chairman Vijay Kumar Dhar said, “It is a proud moment for all of us, the teachers, the non-teaching staff, students and their parents.” He said the school has got 99.5 percent overall results in the exams and that around 160 students from the school have secured above eighty percent marks.
