Islamabad - Former President Asif Ali Zardari has condoled the death of Begum Kulsoom Saifullah Khan, former MNA as well as federal minister and mother of former MNA Humayun Saifullah.
The former president paid glowing tributes to Begum Kulsoom Saifullah describing her as a “great humanist, patriot, philanthropist and social worker who touched the lives of innumerable people from across the political and social divide.”
“An accomplished woman of great elegance and grace and a born humanist with a deeply compassionate heart she left a deep imprint on anyone who came in contact with her,” Zardari said in a condolence message, adding that the ease with which she mixed with the royalty and national and international leaders on the one hand and the poor and dispossessed on the other was a remarkable facet of her life that endeared her to everyone.
After the death of her husband, she brought up her children in a way that is a role model for many. The void created by her passing away will not be filled for a long time. “May Allah rest her soul in eternal peace and grant strength to members of bereaved family to bear the loss with equanimity,” the former president prayed.
Meanwhile, Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq and Acting Speaker National Assembly Murtaza Javed Abbasi in their separate condolence messages to the members of the bereaved family paid rich tribute to the services of Begum Kulsum Saifullah for the promotion of democracy in the country.
They expressed their heartfelt grief and sorrow over the sad demise of Begum Kulsum Saifullah.
They prayed to Almighty Allah to rest the departed soul in eternal peace and grant courage to the bereaved family to bear the irreparable loss with equanimity.
