PML-N Senator Kalsoom Parveen has passed away from the coronavirus, according to a statement from the Senate Secretariat.
She had been put on a ventilator at a private hospital in Islamabad last month after her condition deteriorated.
Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani expressed grief over the Senator's passing, saying that her death has "deprived the Senate of a very active and progressive-thinking member". She did not only serve the people in underdeveloped areas of Balochistan but also played an important role in Pakistani politics, he added.
