Lahore - All Pakistan Newspapers Society has expressed their profound grief over the sad demise of senior lawyer Mr Abdul Hafeez Pirzada in the United Kingdom.
President Hameed Haroon and Secretary General Sarmad Ali acknowledged the services of Mr Pirzada during his association as the senior lawyer on the APNS team in the apex courts on the issue of the Wage Board. By his departure, the APNS feels it has lost an invaluable friend, press release issued by APNS said.
The APNS office bearers condoled the death of Pirzada with his family, and prayed that Almighty Allah may rest the departed soul in eternal peace. Abdul Hafeez Pirzada was a veteran lawyer and author of the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan. He championed the cause of strict constitutional adherence and the writ of law in the country.
His professional acumen and expertise in constitutional matters will long be remembered. A vacuum has been created in the legal process by his demise, which is unlikely to be filled in easily. He was a thorough gentleman, an outstanding professional, and an ardent champion of civil rights.
