Political struggle with her husband

Her political career and factual struggle started during the second tenure of Nawaz Sharif when his confrontation with the army establishment intensified. During the military coup d’état against him on 12 October 1999, she was put behind bars by the military dictator Pervez Musharraf.

Nawaz Sharif announced her President of Pakistan Muslim League in 1999 and she remained there till 2002. Maryam Nawaz expressed her feelings concerning her mother in the following words: “She dauntlessly challenged the usurper when a lot of men backed out.”

In 2000, she led a public rally from Lahore to Peshawar to gather the public support for the PML-N. Soon after leaving her residence, her car was surrounded by the police and she was detained.

She was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan for the first time from NA-120 (Lahore-III) as a candidate of PML (N) in by-polls held in September 2017. She secured 59,413 votes and defeated Yasmin Rashid of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. The NA-120 seat fell vacant after her husband, Nawaz Sharif, was disqualified by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Fight with illness and death later on

In August 2017, Kulsoom Nawaz was diagnosed with blood cancer and was admitted to hospital in London.

She suffered a cardiac arrest in June 2018 which put her on ventilator.

Ami had a sudden cardiac arrest this morning when we were on the flight & is in ICU & on the ventilator since. Earnest request for duas.

— Maryam Nawaz Sharif (@MaryamNSharif) June 14, 2018

Nawaz Sharif had to leave her in hospital and get back to Pakistan due to his court cases.

Begum Kulsoom Nawaz breathed her last on Sept. 11. Her demise ended her months-long battle with cancer. That was not the only front she had to battle on during her life; her life is replete with persistent struggle.

History will always remember her as an unassuming yet resilient figure who never caved in to the opposing currents. She was a politician more to circumstances than by choice. However, the fact did not let her resolve to waver in her battle for democracy.

Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz breaking into tears bidding her farewell.

She died on the 11 September 2018 at the age of 68 in London while both her husband Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam were serving jail terms. Her husband and daughter were granted timed-parole in order to attend her funeral.
