We feel your sense of loss and share your grief and sorrow. In this difficult hour, our best thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

The people of Pakistan always remember Ms. Wadia as the beloved daughter of their Founding Father, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, and hold her in deep respect and highest esteem. Ms. Wadia’s memories of the Quaid as an affectionate father and as a towering political figure whose struggle culminated in the creation of Pakistan are treasured by the nation. The people of Pakistan fondly remember the last visit of Ms. Wadia and her visit to the Quaid’s mausoleum.

May the departed soul rest in eternal peace and may the family have the courage and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. Ameen.

Dear Mr. Nusli Wadia,

?I write to convey our deepest condolences over the sad passing away of your beloved mother, Ms. Dina Wadia. The Government and people of Pakistan fully share your grief and sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family in this difficult time.

?As the daughter of our Founding Father, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Ms. Wadia was always highly respected and admired by the nation. Ms. Wadia remembered her father as a deeply affectionate person and was enormously proud of his achievements, including the creation of Pakistan. Her accounts cherishing the memory of her last meeting with the Quaid along with her young children in Bombay in 1946 are touching. Her last visit to the Quaid’s mausoleum in your company was another moving experience for her and reflective of the strong association she had with her illustrious father.

?May the departed soul rest in eternal peace and may you and the rest of the family have the strength to bear this irreparable loss.???
