KARACHI: The city mourns a powerful loss as former Sindh governor and iconic political figure Kamal Azfar passed away on Monday.
A towering name in the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Azfar took his last breath at Ziauddin Hospital, leaving behind a legacy that shaped generations.
Azfar’s family and party insiders confirmed the heartbreaking news, revealing that funeral arrangements are on hold until his children arrive from abroad.
The grief runs deep — not just for a politician, but for a man many once called the “son of Karachi.”
A Man of the People
Kamal Azfar wasn’t just a politician — he was a force. Known for his close ties with former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Azfar rose through PPP’s ranks, even leading as the party’s Karachi president.
He wasn’t about flashy politics; he was about impact — and nowhere was that more visible than in his work to develop housing for low-income families in the city’s Lines Area.
From Senator to Governor — A Life of Purpose
Azfar also served as a senator before stepping down to become Sindh’s governor in 1995, appointed by Benazir Bhutto herself.
His journey from public service to power was fueled by loyalty, vision, and a deep love for his city.
Now, as Karachi prepares to say goodbye, his contributions echo louder than ever.
