Renowned Pakistan Movement worker Fatima Sughra died on Sunday night in Lahore after a protracted illness. She was 86.

Her funeral prayers were offered on Monday after the Zuhr congregation. She was laid to rest at the Miani Sahib graveyard.

Fatima Sughra won acclaim for her rebellion against British rule during the Pakistan Movement, when she pulled down Union Jack from the Civil Secretariat Lahore gate and hoisted her own green dupata as a flag for the Muslim League. At the time, Sughra was only 14.

She was awarded a gold medal and a Life Achievement Award by the Government of Pakistan and the Pakistan Movement Workers Trust in recognition of her services during the Independence movement.
