Goodbye, Fauzia Wahab - an upright and courageous leader of PPP. We feel gratitude of your struggle for people of Pakistan. You will always be with us. We love you.
Sad for a death of a person but I also feel sad for her supporting party and not public. In this life we are tasked to stand for truth and honesty. Let Allah decide as he is the best judge.
Already this new PPP has been taken over by crooks, with her death they lost one more honest person, which is rarity in this party now. Odd Allah (swt) only call the good and honest ppl, leaving behind all the gund.
It’s saddening and interesting to note that no important person from the PPP attended her funeral. Had she been killed or died due to unnatural reasons, the PPP would have used her death to gain political capital. They would have also added her name to their list of political shaheeds since that always helps in the long run. Shame on the PPP for using Fauzia Wahab and then conveniently forgetting her when she needed them the most.
may her soul rest in peace
May your soul rest in eternal peace.
