Three-time former First Lady of Pakistan Begum Kulsoom Nawaz passed away in London after the prolonged illness.
The former first lady was born to a Kashmiri family and married the former Prime Minister in 1971. The couple had four children; Hussain, Hassan, Asma, and Maryam.
She was battling against cancer (early-stage lymphoma) since August last year after doctors in the UK confirmed the diagnostics.
Despite going through several surgeries and chemotherapy sessions, she suffered a cardiac arrest in June and was placed on the ventilator.
In July, the family had reported improvements, however, her health started to deteriorate on Tuesday and she was rushed to the hospital, where she took her last breath.

No matter what someone has done, the passing of your wife and your mother while you are in jail is not a laughing matter nor is it something to be celebrated. Hoping the trolls will spare #KulsoomNawaz at least in her death.

#KulsoomNawaz died not knowing till the End that her Husband and Daughter are in Jail, kept asking about them every time she was conscious that why they don’t come to see her anymore.
