Haroon yusuf biography for kids

NEW YORK: Former Governor of West Pakistan and one of the founders of Dawn newspaper, Yusuf Abdullah Haroon was buried on Thursday in Karachi. His Soyem will take place on Friday, February 18, between Asr and Maghrib prayers and Dua will be held at 6:15pm at Haroon Villa, Clifton, Karachi.

He was also one of the last surviving witnesses to the historic Allahabad session where Allama Iqbal first propounded the idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims of South Asia.

His death marks the end of an era that saw the epic struggle for freedom from colonialism, the Pakistan movement under Jinnah’s leadership, the birth of Pakistan, the holocaust of partition, Pakistan’s struggle for survival during its formative years and the tragedies that later befell the world’s largest Muslim state.
