A look at the political legacy of former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali
When Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the then prime minister, visited Jacobabad in 1976, he asked Mir Murad Khan Jamali to join his party. The latter refused. Instead, he introduced a 32-year-old cousin of his to Bhutto. Nobody could have predicted then that this young man would become a prime minister. It was Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali
aka Jabal (mountain) who became prime minister 26 years later, the first politician from the province to hold the office.
Jamali was born in 1944. When he passed away on December 2 at the age of around 77, he had been in politics for 44 years.
