Meher Bano Qureshi has emotional birthday message for father ‘Qaidi 805’

Meher Bano Qureshi, a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the daughter of incarcerated senior party leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi, took to X (formerly Twitter) to emotionally wish her father on his birthday on Saturday.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi is currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail for cases related to May 9 event; however, the Islamabad High Court acquitted him in the Cipher case earlier this month.

Meher Bano wrote to her father, “Happy Birthday Baba @SMQureshiPTI ♥ Not a day goes by that we don’t miss you. We thank you for your sacrifice. It is because of you that we hold our heads high and it is because of you that we will never give up fighting for our Pakistan. Inshallah this too shall pass and every single prisoner of conscience will return home to their families soon. Love you & miss you.”

Earlier this week, Zain Qureshi, who is the son of Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that he expects his father would be released from prison after Eid ul Azha.

“This is my second Eid without my father. He has offered the greatest sacrifice.” I’m hoping he’ll be released from jail after Eid,” Zain told journalists in Multan following Eid prayers.
