PESHAWAR: Zainul Abedin, a former member of the provincial assembly from Chitral and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader, passed away in Lahore on Thursday. He was 86. He was admitted to a private hospital in Lahore a few weeks ago after he suffered injuries in a road mishap. Though he had undergone heart surgery in London in the mid-90s, he was in good health. Scion of a respectable family of Morder village in Molkhow tehsil in Chitral, Zainul Abedin had earned a name as a politician and social worker through his honesty and unflinching love for his native Chitral valley. He was elected member of the provincial assembly on the PPP ticket during the second term of Benazir Bhutto as the Prime Minister. Zainul Abedin was considered a symbol of unity in PPP in Chitral. He had also played an important role in highlighting the need for an all-weather road for the hitherto land-locked Chitral district. He was also an active social worker and helped resolve many disputes between local clans and villages. He would be laid to rest in his ancestral graveyard in Morder village today.
