LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif here Wednesday expressed heartfelt condolence of sad demise of Prince Karim Aga Khan.

“Prince Karim Aga Khan was not only loved by the members of his community but was also respected the world over. His role in the promotion of education, health, social welfare and women empowerment, had earned him the gratitude and admiration of the entire country, where his many projects are spread all over.
“I had the great pleasure of meeting him on many occasions, but I especially recall the time I spent with him during his visit to Pakistan in December, 2013, when he was accompanied by his elegant daughter, Princess Zahra.
“Prince Karim Aga Khan also had the distinction of being the grandson of Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, who was one of the most prominent leaders in the Sub-Continent’s struggle for independence and freedom from colonial rule.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Aga Khan family, the Ismaili community, and all those who were touched by his extraordinary life and work. May he rest in peace. Ameen!”
