The late gover**r was laid to rest in the Gizri graveyard in Clifton with due protocol.
Earlier, the option of holding the funeral prayers at the nearby Bagh-e-Jinnah (old Polo Ground) was also considered, but later the idea was dropped due to the expected attendance of VVIPs in the funeral.
On the directives of Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, the provincial government observed a day of mourning on Thursday when the national flag was hoisted at half mast at all main government buildings and installations, including the Chief Minister House, Sindh High Court, Sindh Assembly and Sindh Secretariat.
The former chief justice of Pakistan, Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui, became the 31st gover**r of the province on **vember 11, 2016, after Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan was ******* from the post. Khan had remained gover**r of the province for a record period of over 13 years. Siddiqui’s stint as gover**r of just over two months is considered to be the shortest-serving gover**r of the province.
On **vember 13 the retired justice, soon after his oath-taking ceremony as gover**r, was shifted to a private hospital in Clifton after he developed serious respiratory illness. On December 15 the gover**r was discharged from hospital, but even after this he could **t perform his functions as per the official routine owing to his serious ill health.
The ailing gover**r, during his very brief stint, even could **t pay the ceremonial visit to the mausoleum of the Quaid-e-Azam to pay homage to the founder of the nation after assuming the top constitutional position of the province.
On Thursday, dignitaries kept visiting the Gover**r House and the private residence of the late gover**r in DHA to condole with the bereaved family.
