Islamabad, July 20, 2023 (PPI-OT): On behalf of Government of Pakistan, Ministry of States and Frontier Regions expresses deepest condolences on the death of Sahibzada Mohammad Jehangir Khanji, the Nawab of Junagadh. He passed away at the age of 67 years in Karachi today. It would be worthwhile to mention that the grandfather of Nawab Jehangir Khanji, Nawab Mahabat Khan, as the Ruler of Junagadh State, signed instrument of accession to Pakistan on 15th September, 1947. Nawab Jehangir Khanji was a remarkable figure, a stalwart of political and social advocacy, and a tireless champion for the cause of Junagadh. His dedication to the people of Junagadh was unwavering, and his efforts to bring their plight to the forefront at international level were relentless.
His struggle to highlight the issue of Junagadh’s liberation from Indian occupation at all international forums, like his grandfather and father were a testament to his commitment to the cause. His belief in the potential of the people of Junagadh and his unwavering faith in their rights were inspiring. He was a gentleman of integrity and honour. Government of Pakistan extends heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of the late Nawab and the people of Junagadh and shares their grief. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
