Senator Mushahidullah Khan passed away in Islamabad early Thursday morning.
The news was initially confirmed by PML-N leader Mohammad Zubair.
Senator Mushahidullah was unwell for quite a long time, Zubair said, who is also the spokesperson for PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz.
Mushahidullah used to come to the Senate sessions with great determination and courage, Zubair said, adding that the senator was a fearless man and stood firm against dictatorships.
The former Sindh governor added that the late senator, who was a federal minister under the previous government, was among the senior-most leaders of the party. His death, he said, is a great loss for his family, the PML-N and Pakistan.
‘Huge loss’
Following Senator Mushahidullah’s demise, Maryam said she was “shattered to hear the sad news”.
“Senator Mushahidullah Khan, MNS’s loyal and exceptional companion left us. Will never be able to forget his fatherly affection & love. Huge huge loss.
