برادرم نعیم الحق۔۔۔ پاکستان میں سیاسی کارکنوں کی آبرو تھے، جنہوں نے ساری زندگی جدوجہد میں گزاری۔ تحریک انصاف اور پاکستان انہیں ہمیشہ یاد رکھیں گے۔ اللہ انہیں جنت میں ارفع مقام عطا فرمائیں۔

نعیم الحق سے میری شناسائی انڈس ٹی وی کے زمانے سے کوئی 18 برس قبلُ ہوئی، وہ ایک محبت کرنے والے انسان تھے، اقتدار میں آنے کے بعد بھی ان کا رویہ بلکل تبدیل نہیں ہوا، انھیں کرکٹ کا بھی شوق تھا میں انڈس ٹی وی پر اسپورثس اور نعیم بھائی سیاسی پروگرام کے میزبان تھے اللہ ان کی مغفرت فرماۓ pic.twitter.com/gzU8jtvT6Z

He was born on Pakistan’s soil. He battled his illness on Pakistan’s soil. He breathed his last breath on Pakistan’s soil. A true Pakistani, loyal to #Pakistan until the very end! 🇵🇰 #RIPNaeemulhaque pic.twitter.com/T4HaNMYeSN

Naeem Bhai was a fighter! He always fought bravely whether it was the fight against corruption or his illness.
During my early years in ISF and later, learned a lot from him.
If there was any person most loyal to Imran Khan in his struggle it was @naeemul_haque.#ripnaeemulhaque pic.twitter.com/ElNgtRNGKb— Arsalan Taj (@ArsalanGhumman) February 15, 2020
