PTI leader Naeemul Haque passes away

F.P. Report

KARACHI: Naeemul Haque, one of the senior-most members of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and a close aide to Prime Minister Imran Khan, has passed away at the age of 70 in Karachi.

He had been battling blood cancer for the last two years.

His party tweeted its condolences, describing him as “a dedicated Pakistani, a loyal friend and a kind human being.”

PM Imran, a close friend, said he was “devastated” by Haque’s passing.

“He was one of the 10 founding members of the PTI and by far the most loyal,” the prime minister wrote. “In 23 years of PTI’s trials and tribulations, he stood by me. He was always there for support whenever we were at our lowest ebb.”

“In the last two years, I saw him battle cancer with courage and optimism,” PM Imran wrote.

“Till the very end, he was involved in party affairs and attended cabinet meetings as long as he was able. His passing has left an irreplaceable void.”
