LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has expressed deep grief over the demise of senior PPP member Dr Mubashar Hassan.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, Bilawal said that it was a great loss for the party as the late was a prominent voice of left-wing of the party and society.
Paying tribute to Dr Mubashar Hassan, the PPP chairman said that the services of the former politician for democracy would be remembered forever.
Veteran politician and one of the founding members of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Dr Mubashir Hasan, passed away at his residence in Lahore on Saturday. He was 98.
Dr Hasan had been unwell and under treatment for the past three days. Hasan was a close confidante of PPP founder and former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who laid the foundation stone of the PPP at Dr Hasan’s residence in Lahore.
Along with J.A. Rahim and S. Mohammad Rashid, Hasan founded the PPP as a democratic socialist political force. He was one of the main architects behind organizing the PPP across Pakistan. He was also one of the contributors to PPP’s first-ever manifesto.
