Senate Chairman Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani also shared his sorrow. “Barrister Sultan Mehmood was wise, dignified, and principled,” he stated. “His services for AJK will always be remembered. His political struggle remains a guiding light for future generations.”
Chaudhry’s official Facebook page dismissed rumors about his health on January 10, stating that he had improved from before.
