MULTAN: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MPA-elect Tariq Khan Dreshak was laid to rest at his ancestral graveyard in Rajanpur.
A large number of people including politicians attended his funeral prayers in his hometown Rajanpur.
The PTI leader died yesterday at a hospital in Multan. He has left behind a wife, a son and three daughters.
Dreshak was suffering from brain hemorrhage and was on a ventilator for the last three days after his condition had deteriorated.
He was declared elected on provincial assembly constituency (PP-296) from Rajanpur.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) would now announce a by-poll on this PA seat which fell vacant after his death.
PTI chief Imran Khan, expressing his condolences, tweeted, “Saddened to learn of the death of our newly-elected MPA from Rajanpur Tariq Dreeshak. My condolences and prayers go to the family.”
