Difficult to understand why Maryam Nawaz has not issued a party statement holding IK responsible for this. She is not usually so slow.
inalillah e wa ina ilayhe rajion
Was going for a good cause (ablution). May Allah bless his soul. Seems like a nice man as I never knew Nawaz. S has another brother. Never saw him on in any media forum either.
Very unfortunate, but the party his brother is the chief of are supporters of banned outfits that kill innocent people.. What goes around comes around.. Nonetheless, he himself has our blessings RIP Sir.
May Almighty Allah rest the departed soul in eternal peace and grant courage to the bereaved family to cope up with this irreparable loss. A federal agency should probe and fined reason of the death, it sounds unusual person fall on heater and died.
@Mirza: Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
A pious man indeed. May his soul rest in peace!
@Sundus: as a muslim we should only pray for our dpartured muslim. MAY Almighty GOD forgive his sins and rest him in peace, ....... sundas aap ko to kuch khyaal karna chahyay...u r so cold heart specimen.
After my sincere condolences to the loved ones and the friends and family member of the diseased I request the big brothers to establish CPR training classes in every ten mile radius or less from each other. Most of the death by such electric shocks can be eliminated by timely basic CPR__ Heart massage while forcing air into the victims lung. Second would be Regulation like in Europe for manufacturer that their equipment will shut off if kicked, fell, flip or short circuited etc. Third is all bathroom & kitchen power plugs should be grounded and be able to instantly trip/cut the power to the equipment/appliance in case of sudden "earth/ground" or "short-circuit" sensed in the pre-equipped GFI(Ground fault Indicator) plug receptacle. The switch is very common & affordable around the world, any electrician can install it in the room circuit. People will be safer and Gujranwala will have one more industry for sustenance.
@Gulbano: @John the Baptist: @Adnan Siddiqi: I am sorry and deeply in sympathy with Sharif Brothers on this sad occasion. The above post is not from me. I cannot take a swing on a person when he is down. It was a low blow and it is not me! The hate mongers would do anything to create walls among people. This is no time for politicking and point scoring. RIP A. Sharif. May God bless you and your family.
INNA.LILAHE.WA.INA.ELEHE.RAJEOON
RIP
@Adnan Siddiqi:
@Adnan Siddiqi: @Mirza: With all due respect bro – only PPP and PTI would use events, premise, people and “Institutions” to garner votes.
Well said. PMLN has no need for such antics–it just buys the votes from ill gotten gains and cheating on taxes.
how can a person die by falling on the electric heater ? unless current is running on the heater..there should be proper investication
This was a real ... puts glasses on ... shocking new
May Allah rest his soul in Jannatt. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
@Jibran: "RIP. But Electric heater in the bathroom?"
Yes this stupidity can happen only in pakistan.
@Adnan Siddiqi & @Mirza:
There is a place for everything. Unfortunately death of a human being whatever side he/she belongs to is not the time to put political punch lines. We expect better from our wise ones.
Sad. May his soul RIP and may God give the strength to his family to live through this tragedy.
May his soul rests in peace!
nna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
May his soul rest in peace. Amin
RIP Mian Abbas.
@Ahmad:
And in the end you're still dead.
Inna lillahe wa Inna elaihe raaji’oon…
May Allah rest his soul in peace.
@Mirza: I sure hope not brother man.
@Adnan Siddiqi. you have already started gaining votes by your statement.
Inna lillahe wa Inna elaihe raaji’oon.
So the electic heater did not have protective cover that is criminal as anyone can come in touch with the filament of the heater in case one falls on it for whatever reason.
Sad News!
RIP Sad to see how people here can't even express grief over someone's demise without making a commentary on political economy. 'Horrible way to die', 'leaders should learn something...', 'rich people should realize....'. Disgusting.
Sad to hear the news. May his soul rest in peace.
Pakistan must start making code of conducts even for such small issues like the use of electric heater in Wadhu area, as it can cause searious loss. Like in this case.
@Mirza:
With all due respect bro - only PPP and PTI would use events, premise, people and "Institutions" to garner votes.
Inna lillahe wa Inna elaihe raaji’oon…
Really sad. Do they have some sort of building safety code for mosques? Action needs to be taken against the keeper of the mosque and he should be booked for causing the death by negligence.
May Allah Rest departed Soul in Peace & Give Strength to the bereaved family to bear this loss.
RIP
@ALI You think you have a better option of dieing.lets hope for the best.......... May his endless journey be in piece.
Reminder to all "one way or other we have to depart!!!" no matter to which religion, sect or class we belong.
@Ali: for me it wasn't horrible way of dying when Allah allows you to offer salah in mosque and then He takes your soul.
i agree with Ali.
May his soul rest in peace. Ameen
I thought nawaz and shahbaz were the only two.
What the . . . With all due respect, does this mean a sympathy vote goes to PML-N this time?
innaa lillah ...
maybe an eye opener for the elite that how ghareeb is electrocuted on the streets ...
RIP my condolences
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
RIP.
Which group assassinated him
May Allah Almighty rest his soul in eternal peace
May his soul rest in peace. Amin
May he rest in peace. During bad times in Sindh, floods and SPLG Bill, Mian Newaz Sharif Sahab always came to Sindh and stood by us. At this time, Pls accept our sincere condolences. Every one has to go and only good memories remain behind. Wish every Pakistani strive to be a good human being with values like kindness, sympathy, forgiveness, and sincerity and he leaves good example behind.
Death comes to everyone. What a horrible way to die.
Shocking!!
May Allah grant him high ranks in jannat - Ameen.
May he RIP Lesson should still be learned that you can have body guards but Allah knows when you will return..... still some time for all leaders to learn from such things
Rest in Peace.
Very shocking. May the departed soul RIP and courage and patience to family and friends to bear this sudden unrepeatable loss.
