Last week, Senator Usman Kakar was laid to rest after a historic funeral at his hometown Muslim Bagh in Balochistan.
I was among the tens of thousands of people who attended his funeral prayers; it was an experience that left me awed and humbled. In my life as a political worker, I have never seen so many people come out to say goodbye to a beloved leader. Usman Kakar’s funeral was an extraordinary event and, in my opinion, was the perfect testimony of his stature and the love and respect he commanded.
