KARACHI:<\/strong> The city mourns a powerful loss as former Sindh governor and iconic political figure Kamal Azfar passed away on Monday.<\/p>\n

A towering name in the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Azfar took his last breath at Ziauddin Hospital, leaving behind a legacy that shaped generations.<\/p>\n

Azfar\u2019s family and party insiders confirmed the heartbreaking news, revealing that funeral arrangements are on hold until his children arrive from abroad.<\/p>\n

The grief runs deep \u2014 not just for a politician, but for a man many once called the \u201cson of Karachi.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Man of the People<\/strong><\/h3>\n


Kamal Azfar wasn\u2019t just a politician \u2014 he was a force. Known for his close ties with former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Azfar rose through PPP\u2019s ranks, even leading as the party\u2019s Karachi president.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t about flashy politics; he was about impact \u2014 and nowhere was that more visible than in his work to develop housing for low-income families in the city\u2019s Lines Area.<\/p>\n

Azfar also served as a senator before stepping down to become Sindh\u2019s governor in 1995, appointed by Benazir Bhutto herself.<\/p>\n

His journey from public service to power was fueled by loyalty, vision, and a deep love for his city.<\/p>\n

Now, as Karachi prepares to say goodbye, his contributions echo louder than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
