Firdous pays tribute to Naeemul Haq

Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) for Information and Broadcasting, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awani on Sunday paid tributes to her senior colleague, Naeemul Haq, who passed away here on Saturday evening. He lived for others and always fought for the rights of the people, especially the marginalized," she said this while talking to the media persons outside the residence of Neemul Haq, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's founder member and a close confidant of Prime Minister, Imran Khan.

Mentioning that late Naeemul Haq stood by the PM in his efforts to establish the country's first cancer hospital for the resourceless people, Dr Firdous said he himself was fighting with cancer since long. She said the late PTI leader, despite being exposed to the challenge, had been working hard for national causes like providing better health-care to the people and earned prayers of a big number of beneficiaries and their families. "He spent his time and energy in building the country as per vision of the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and to see the dream fulfilled, he stood steadfast for 22 long years with PTI Chief, Imran Khan," the SAPM said. "We are here today to pay tributes to a great leader of PTI who devoted his life for the accomplishment of an ideology close to the hearts of the people of Pakistan," she said.
