Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad and Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim, along with members of their cabinet, on Saturday visited Mazar-e-Quaid and offered prayers (Fateha) on the occasion of the 56th death anniversary of the Father the Nation. They laid wreaths on the grave and recorded their impression in the Visitors' Register.
They paid glowing tributes to Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and pledged to follow in his footsteps.
