Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain telephoned Tariq Fouzi, son of the veteran politician and Naib Amir of the Jamaat-e-Islami Professor Ghafoor Ahmed, and offered condolences on the death of his father. He said that the country had lost a great politician and a kind and noble personality.
"He was kind-hearted to everyone. This is the reason why all religious and political leaders are grieved at his death. He stood out among fellow politicians because of his honesty and integrity," he added. Talking about his personal meetings with late Professor Ghafoor Ahmed, he said that Ghafoor always treated him kindly. "I can never forget his love and affection. I always respected him as my elder and today I feel as if someone from my own family has left this world," he added.
He prayed Allah Almighty to shower His blessings on the departed soul and give him an exalted place in heaven. Fouzi said, "We would not forget the sentiments that you have expressed on the death of my father. We are thankful to you for your sympathy and care."-PR
