Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPA Khurram Gulfam on Tuesday passed away in city’s Services Hospital.
The lawmaker was in coma for the last two weeks. He was being treated in the hospital for neck tumour. Doctors said the MPA underwent a tumour surgery on Tuesday but could not survive.
Gulfam, elected to PP-162 (Sheikhupura-I), was declared brain dead last week, days after he was brought to the hospital for a minor procedure.
At the hospital, his condition turned critical during the operation and the doctors shifted him to the ICU.
Born on February 6, 1979 in Sheikhupura, Gulfam received his early education from Lahore’s Aitchison College and later graduated from Government College, Lahore. He obtained the degree of MA (English) in 2001 from University of the Punjab, Lahore and graduated in Law in 2004 from Lahore’s Pakistan College of Law.
In 2007, when he was serving as Muridke’s naib nazim, an attempt was made on Gulfam’s life. Although he had managed to escape unhurt in the attack near Fatehwali village. Gulfam had later told reporters that the attack was ordered by his political rivals.
A young man has tragically lost his life and te headlines is "he hit the bucket". What sort of journalists have we ? It is in poor taste.
It is as if a joke is being made of the tragic event. It could well be deliberate considering the devaluation of human life in the country.
The least the newspaper can do is to apologise unreservedly and send the journalist on a course in human relations.
A son,husband,father has tragically died and this is reported as "Kicks the Bucket" Pakistan Today has proved that the nation has fallen to a new depth of inhumanity. Pakistani as a nation deserve what you get, it has no respect on any forum in the world.
So a veteran journalist Abbas Athar passes away while a young vibrant politician "kicks the bucket"
