Mir Shakeel-ur-Rahman has been currently incarcerated over a concocted property case made against him by the National Accountability Bureau.

Meanwhile, The All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) expressed profound grief over the sad demise of younger sister of Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman.

APNS President Hameed Haroon and Secretary General Sarmad Ali, while offering their condolence to the bereaved family stated that it is unfortunate that in the moment of this unbearable grief Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman is imprisoned and has been refused bail by the Lahore High Court and would therefore not be able to attend the funeral of his sister.

The APNS office-bearers have requested the Federal Govt to release Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman in this hour of his grief. They have prayed that Almighty Allah may rest the departed soul in eternal peace and give courage to the bereaved family to bear the loss.
