Jinnah’s Last Home

Description
Ziarat Residency was a former sanatorium in the hills of Balochistan, and it’s where Muhammad Ali Jinnah - the founder of Pakistan – spent the last three months of his life.

But just four years ago, Ziarat residency was fire-bombed and burnt to the ground by Balochi separatists.
