Former Pakistani prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali passed away on Wednesday evening. He was 76 years old. The news of his demise was confirmed by his relative, Senator Sana Jamali. He was shifted to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology & National Institute of Heart Diseases (AFIC-NIHD) in Rawalpindi after suffering a heart attack last week. Jamali was on ventilator support in the Coronary Care Unit for the past week. The details of his funeral have not been issued as yet. The late leader served as the premier from November 2002 until June 2004.
He was the country’s first and only elected prime minister from Balochistan and was elected during the military regime of Gen Pervez Musharraf. He was replaced by Shaukat Aziz in 2004. He won the 2013 general elections as an independent, but later joined the PML-N and used to sit on the treasury benches in the previous assembly.
