Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif and PML-N President Muhammad Nawaz Sharif have paid rich tribute to the social services of Prince Karim Aga Khan while expressing a deep sense of grief and sorrow over his demise.
The chief minister offered sincere condolences and extended her heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family members and other concerned.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif stated, "It was with great shock and sorrow that I learnt this morning of the passing away of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan, the 49th Imam of the Ismaili community. Prince Karim Aga Khan was not only loved by the members of his community but was also respected the world over. His role in the promotion of education, health, social welfare and women empowerment had earned him the gratitude and admiration of the entire country, where his many projects are spread all over."
The PML-N leader added, "I had the great pleasure of meeting him on many occasions, but I especially recall the time I spent with him during his visit to Pakistan in December 2013, when he was accompanied by his elegant daughter, Princess Zahra. Prince Karim Aga Khan also had the distinction of being the Grandson of Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, who was one of the most prominent leaders in the Subcontinent's struggle for independence and freedom from colonial rule."
