DERA GHAZI KHAN: The Nimaz-e-Jinaza of Former President of Pakistan, Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari on Wednesday was offered here in his native village in the presence of thousands of weepers belonging to all walks of life.

Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari passed away in the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology in Rawalpindi, following a long illness early Wednesday morning. He was 70.

Several thousand followers attended his Nimaz-e-Jinaza including politicians and other people who loved him thin thick and thin.

Leghari had been a cardiac patient and was treated for the same in CMH Rawalpindi. He belonged to Dera Ghazi Khan District of South Punjab.

Leghari was eighth elected President of Pakistan in 1993. He dismissed Benazir Bhutto’s government on allegations of corruption, lawlessness and extra-judicial-killings by using article 58-2B of the Constitution on November 05, 1996.

Leghari formed his own political party ‘Millat’, which he later in 2002 merged in PML-Q.
