PPP Founding Pillar and Ex-Governor Sindh Kamal Azfar Passes Away at 95

-

Sindh weeps today — a towering figure of Pakistan’s political and legal history, Kamaluddin Azfar, has passed away after a prolonged illness. He was *95.

A founding pillar of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and a man who wore many hats — from Finance Minister to Governor of Sindh — Azfar was not just a politician. He was a thinker, a statesman, and a gentleman whose quiet dignity defined a generation of leadership.

His passing marks the end of an era in Sindh’s political landscape. A man who walked beside Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, shaped economic policy with pragmatism, and held the Constitution close to his heart even during the most turbulent political storms — Kamal Azfar’s contributions are etched in the nation’s memory.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah led the outpouring of grief, calling him a “shrewd and seasoned politician whose services will always be remembered.” In a heartfelt statement, Murad extended condolences to the bereaved family and praised Azfar’s unwavering commitment to democracy and constitutional values.

“Kamal Azfar’s political insight and dedication left an indelible mark,” the Chief Minister’s House stated.

Born in *1930, Kamaluddin Azfar wasn’t just a politician — he was a **legal scholar, a writer, and a mentor. His writings on *constitutional law and governance continue to guide minds in both politics and academia.

He joined the PPP in its nascent days, standing shoulder to shoulder with the founding leadership. He was *admired for his humility, revered for his intellect, and remembered most for being a man of quiet power and *resolute principle.

Today, Pakistan mourns not just a political figure, but a *gentle soul, a *patriot, and a man who believed in the power of the law, the strength of institutions, and the dream of a democratic Pakistan.
