Expressing profound grief and sorrow over the demise of Dr Safdar Mahmood, former federal secretary and renowned historian, in Lahore last night, Professor Khurshid Ahmad, former senator and Patron-in-Chief of the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), Islamabad termed the departure of Mahmood a national loss.
In a condolence message issued on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, the professor stated that Mahmood, who also remained a member of the Institute’s National Academic Council (NAC), was especially known for his intellectual and scholarly insights and his published works were often cited and referred to by researchers of both local and foreign origins.
