Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chiefs Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will meet Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lifetime president Nawaz Sharif today to offer condolences over recent passing away of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz.

According to sources, the PPP heads will be accompanied by a delegation during their visit to the Jati Umra later today.

Kulsoom Nawaz passed away on Tuesday after a prolonged battle with lymphoma (throat) cancer since August 2017 and was under treatment at London’s Harley Street Clinic since June 2014.

Her funeral prayer was led by Tableegi Jamaat’s Maulana Tariq Jameel on Friday, who was driven to the venue, Sharif Medical Complex, by Nawaz Sharif, who along with his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar were released from Adiala Jail on parole to join Begum Kulsoom’s burial rites.

Nawaz’s younger brother and PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif also came in the same car.
