May God grant her the highest place in Jinnah, the PM concluded with the prayer.
The Lady of Pakistan (Khātūn-e Pākistān) died on July 9, 1967, due to a heart attack. Her funeral prayers were attended by nearly half a million people in Karachi.
She was buried beside her brother’s grave in his impressive mausoleum in Karachi.
Masses still hold her in high esteem for her contribution to the Pakistan Movement and also leading the people towards their much-cherished dream of strong democratic norms and culture in the country established through the power of votes.
